Did some research over the weekend for some tool to generate web-based photo albums, and finally zeroed in on JAlbum. So far, I am happy with what it does, but I will get to know all the Pros and Cons only after I use it for a while.

BTW, the Photo Album is password protected. If you know me personally, feel free to request for a userid/password using this link.

…….. here we go. 20 Random facts about me…….
