Slowly but surely the photo album will be filled with pictures again. Sorry, there will be no actually new pictures in there for a while now. Since the latest addition was for Portugal I have uploaded the rest I have too. If you have not seen them before, take a look. See http://www.islandwalking.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/2.

As promised I will walk through the technical details on installing Piwigo. Actually surprisingly little technical insight is really needed, or at least would have been needed if just some small details were not left out of the installation guides for these products.
