Sort of. Blogs are generally a lot of words with a few images. Fotologs tend to be a lot of images with a few words. After all, for most people, it's easier to see something interesting than to say something interesting. Some say that the web is "a writing medium" -- we say that the web-logging revolution isn't necessarily about the writing -- it's about personal, continual publishing irrespective of whether it's done through words or images. If you'd prefer to blog with more words than images, we recommend Wordpress, wich is also free software.
phpFotolog is not an online service, so if you don't have your own webspace you can't use it. phpFotolog is a sigle user application at the moment, meaning it only supports one fotolog. Still you can add friends from other phpfotolog or fotolog services.
It's not aproppiate, put you can do whatever you want with your phpfotolog. Until the your webspace is full, you can post a photo after another.
Because phpFotolog keeps them ordered and everybody can add comments.
phpFotolog was written by me, Miguel Ibero, in the summer of 2004. I'm not related in any form to fotolog.net, still I liked their service a lot so I decided to write my own.
Mmmm... Don't know... My friends, God, Richard Stallman, etc...
Yes, free as in beer and free as in freedom. phpFotolog is free software. Checkout the GNU website to learn more about free software.
It doesn't. I programmed it for fun and I don't intend to make money out of it.
Patches and new features are welcome. If your create your own phpFotolog, tell me or add me to your friends list and I'll be happy.
No, there aren't limits, except the ones of the server wich runs phpFotolog. Your can upload as mucho photos as you want and comments are unlimited. Still, you can disable commenting a certain photo.
At this moment, only one user per phpFotolog is supported. But there are plans to add multiple user and multiple fotolog support.
You'l need a web server with php 4 and php-gd extension enabled to resize the photos, and a MySQL database. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's better for you to go create a fotolog.net account and leave phpFotolog to the professionals :). Now, download the latest phpFotolog tarball from here, compress it and upload it to a directory in your webserver. Enable writing in that directory to begin installation (something linke chmod a+w) and go to phpfotologdir/install.php . Follow installation instructions and you're done! Disable permissions (like chmod go-w) and delete install.php to awoid possible security problems.
Go to phpfotologdir/upload.php. If you're not logged in, a login form will appear. Enter the username and password you selected when installing. To select an image file click on the Browse button. Images should be in jpg, gif or png format. To convert other images to these formats, use Paint on MS Windows or convert from ImageMagick on GNU/Linux. Click on Upload after selecting the image file and filling in the description. You can change or delete every image on your phpfotolog, selecting Archive on the top menu, when logged in.
Go to the My Account link in the top menu. There you'll find a lot of preferences. For more hidden ones, edit config.inc.php by hand. To customize the aspect of the fotolog, edit style.css, almos everything is defined in the stylesheet. If you want even more personalization, edit the php files by yourself, it's your right!
Comments can be disabled on a photo basis. If your're logged in, a small delete link will appear at the end of every comment, that does what it says. There is no limit to the number of comments.
Sure. Post any legal photo. It's your server.
No rules. Except the limits of the GPL license.
