Finally, a smart web gallery

I have often complained to the lumpypear crew that nobody uses EXIF data for comments in images. Instead you have to maintain an external database that somehow relates the comment to an image. Inevitably this database will be lost, the filename will change, or something else will happen and all that work is lost. Thank heavens there is still some sanity in the world. xSite pulls the comment out of the EXIF data stored within the image itself - renaming, moving, or otherwise modifying the image doesn’t matter (there are way to destroy the EXIF data so don’t do that). Just point it to the directory containing the images and it will generate the xHTML
