Before Flickr There Was..
Sat, 29 Nov 2014
I had forgotten about this website! However, thanks to my 'robust' programming and the fact that we have quite a few web servers at Cuttlefish and tend to leave old sites running unless they become problematic, I've just re-discovered the Click It! Living Photography website.
This was a Charnwood Arts project from the early 2000s that I created to allow people to share their photographs of the Loughborough area. There was no Flickr at the time and I remember having to write it from scratch.
There are over 6,000 photographs on the site and as far as I can tell it still seems to work perfectly. Given how much web technology has changed over the last 10 years, this is quite an achievement in its own right.
Have a look around and let me know what you think. But please, no comments on my use of pink in the design. Now, only if I had thought of creating a site that people anywhere in the world could have used..

UPDATE:
I've also found http://thewebworksgallery.co.uk - a sister project from the era.
