Recently, I help a charity to find a web hosting company for the new website I designed for them. 

Because it's a charity, I try to look for the cheapest possible hosting package. At the end, my intention for saving some money for them becomes a nightmare,but I learned a lot and decide to write something here. 

If your website runs on drupal, it demands a reasonable hardware resource and technology. Here are several things you must check with your webhosting providers before you commit

Modules Required

(1) Lightbox2
http://drupal.org/project/lightbox2

(2) Views
http://drupal.org/project/views

(3) CCK
http://drupal.org/project/cck

(4) Imagecache
http://drupal.org/project/imagecache

Steps

1. Enable all three modules above

2. Create a New content type -> Gallery

3. Create a new field in gallery using the CCK

Tagging becomes popular these days because it helps user / search engine to understand / search the content they are looking for. We all use tagging everyday. Think about how you use google, you put in a few keywords and the search engine comes up a list of reference contents. You bascially use the tag (keyword) to find the reference content.

If the author of the content uses some tags which are the same as the those keyword you put on google, search engine will give you a higher position.

In drupal, so far I learn 2 ways to do this tagging things

The nice thing for internet is people share and distribute data everywhere, but sometimes, it's annoying that people steals your works without quoting where it comes from. There are a couple of things you can do:

(a) I like to put a watermark on the pictures I took, I used to do it one by one with the image editing software. Until recently, I found a FREE software called TSR Watermark Image Software. It can do all pictures in a folder at once and it's freeeee. Highly recommended.
