+First master a CD with your images, using the directory structure you want to use on the webpage, mine starts with /camera_type/Img0001 etc...
 You will have to change the relative path in photo2html_table.sh to reflect this.
-Next change to your working(scratchpad) directory and prepare your thumbnails in there.
+Next change to your working html directory and prepare your thumbnails in there.
+Make your working directory path the same as the relative path on your CD except
+on your www/photo_album root. Next copy the files from the CD subdirectory in there.
+My CD directory structure is ${Camera_name}/IMG0001 etc...
+The document root is /var/lib/apache/htdocs/www/photos this directory contains the photos in a structure Nikon/Img0001 etc... With about 80 photos per directory, actually the same as on CD. ;-)
 To prepare your images we use part of the imagemagick suite with this command:
-  $ mogrify -size 120x120 /path_to_files/*.jpg -resize 120x120 +profile "*"
+  $ mogrify -size 120x120 *.jpg -resize 120x120 +profile "*"
+Now run the photo2html script thus:
+../../photo2html/photo2html.sh assuming the script is also under document root of your photo album, if not substitute the installed path to it.
+Document root of your photo album is Document root/photos
+The path for $base in photo2html.sh will have to be changed according to the distribution used.
+Finally, make sure you have a symbolic link to your /cdrom in the document root directory, mine is Nikon/cdrom.
+Oh, and here is a nice little five liner to do off-site backups of parts of your system, run
+it as a cronjob in /etc/cron.daily but root will need to be using public key authentication so that there won't be a password requirement.
+<code>
+#! /bin/bash
+enum=`date +%F`
+tar -czf /tmp/backup$enum.tgz /home/mint /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/crontab /etc/cron.daily /root/.ssh /var/cache/apt/archives --totals
+scp -B /tmp/backup$enum.tgz robert@ares:/var/www/ares/mint
+rm -rf /tmp/backup$enum.tgz
+exit 0
+</code>
+And here is the script to delete old backups:
+<code>
+#!/bin/bash
+COUNT=0
+for file in `ls -c /var/www/ares/mint`
+do
+  COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1`
+  # If we have 8 backups, delete the last, so we only keep a weeks worth, deleting the oldest
+  if [ 0$COUNT -eq 8 ]
+  then
+    rm /var/www/ares/mint/$file
+    COUNT=`expr $COUNT - 1`
+  fi
+done
+exit 0
+</code>
+Run this script on your webserver.
+Of course I could have just used find with the -exec option utilising rm, but I wanted to use bash. ;-)
