Today we learned how to make web pages in iWeb, and learned how to use iPhoto (Apple's default photo managing program). We also did some research on photo-sharing sites.

On iWeb we made some basic web pages: a Welcome page, an Information page, a Photo gallery, and a Blog. We learned how to insert photos and articles into the program.

For the photo-sharing we research we all looked at flickr.com as an example, and then had to find another site to compare it with, I chose smugmug.com

Flickr is basically a blueprint example of all other photo-sharing websites; it has all the expected features such as an organizer and an editing program. Complete with a simple design and an easy-to-use interface.

Smugmug is a site that seems to be aimed at professional photographers. It's very well designed, looks amazing and has some great photos on the home page to lure people in. It also has reviews from well known publishers to give it credit, as well as proclaiming that it has no spam or advertisements. And it goes into a lot more depth than Flickr when it comes to finding images.

If you were a professional photographer then I'd suggest you used Smugmug. But if you were just a normal person looking for somewhere to easily store your photos and share them with friends then the obvious choice is Flickr.
