The Bumper Book of Piano Pics!

[Ron Berry]

Do I need to look in to photo gallery software? Are you picturing this with 
explanations and lots of text? I have some software for online courses 
already on the site that we aren't using a lot yet. I could find photo gallery 
software that would give thumbnails etc. I can imagine this could start to 
take a lot of disk space.

We now have the capability of uploading files at
http://www.ptg.org/files/
which has a database attached for descriptions.
