Ron's Photo Tour -- Starting point

Greetings! I'm RonL. -- the dapper fellow in the sporty race car below!     ;-)
This is where we will begin our tour through some of my better photographs. I know it's a bit odd to start with one I didn't take myself, but I thought I'd introduce myself first.

Derby Downs, Akron, Ohio

About the Photo:
This photo was taken at the top of "Derby Downs". The famous soap box racing hill in Akron, Ohio. (I was doing some volunteer work for the All-American Soap Box Derby at the time and jumped at the opportunity to race down the hill.)

About the Technology:
There are many ways to set up a web-based photo album. This photo tour utilizes the 'content rotator' component in ASP. The upside is that this allows me to present the photos in a specific order. The downside is that this allows me to present the photos in a specific order - which may not be to your liking.

One alternative technique for building a web-based photo album would be to place all of your photo references in a database and construct a page that randomly selects a picture. Click here to see an example of using PHP to select a random picture from a MySQL database sitting on a test domain from my fine friends at evolt.org. [Hint: Click your "Refresh" button to see a different random picture.]
