Does anyone know of a photo-hosting site that implements cloud tagging and isn’t blocked by a school? Or, as an alternative, does anyone know of a website plugin (free preferably) that does uploading and cloud tagging for you? This is for personal and robotics use.
making us old folks learn new words…
No, I don’t know of any, but I usually just put my images on my own web page, using very simple html (the selectric typewriter museum)
We use smugmug (http://rollingthunder.smugmug.com) it’s not free but it seems to work just fine behind our current school firewall…
Not sure if Flickr is blocked by your school firewall but that is a pretty nice site. They have free and pro, pro costing ~$25 a year for unlimited. Quite a nice deal.
Here are a few posts about website photo galleries and photo software
If you can’t find a all-in-one application, I suggest integrating a cloud tagging package with a php based RSS gallery. We are working on providing tutorials on how to implement PHP RSS galleries on the vex events development site.

Feel free to ask questions or PM me if your confused.
If you have PHP and MySQL on your web server, Gallery2 is the way to go if you are looking for a plug and play solution.
If you are of the more adventurous type, and are looking for a challenge, learn PHP (for server side scripting), MySQL (for server side database), XHTML, CSS, and possibly even AJAX and program your own photo gallery.
Just log in with your Google account and upload pictures. You can also view your friends or other people’s albums. I don’t know if it is blocked on a school firewall. Anyone want to check?
Thanks for the replies. Picasa and Flickr are blocked, which is the reason I asked the question. The only other option other than a web-based one is a piece of software that tracks a set of tags and sticks them on a CD. Launch the thing and a slide show pops up with the tags on the left.
Ah, haha … perhaps I just answered my question. I may write some sort of Java program. Too much web stuff has changed since I last tried it. The hope is that one will be able to read all of the files in a directory and save a file in that directory containing the tag info for the directory. Then write the directory to a CD, along with the jar file.
I’ve been wondering about what Java project I’d take on this Fall…
One of my parents set up a smugmug account, she was able to get it free by using the non-profit status of our parent booster group.
