Shocked! It's working!

Beyond all belief, my uploader is working!!! I cannot describe the shock and joy I felt when I finally got something to upload. I seriously did not think it would ever happen.

When I first started thinking about this project, I decided to make mine an uploader for Icon files rather than just photos. I did this because icons files are really small, nice-looking, and I have a ton of them on my computer. Plus, I thought it would be nice to have a theme.

Unfortunately this project was too intimidating to do from scratch and I had to study both Jack and David's pages intensely. I owe a big thanks (and maybe an apology?) to both of them. My pages are a mishmash of both of their coding. I understand it pretty well, but I think there's no way I could have done this without their "help".

The only part I feel really great about is the fact that the navigation actually works and seems to correctly pull 50 images at a time. It's nice to finally figure out something without help. Hopefully, in time, I will be able to create more things like this on my own.

So here's my page. It's called ICONography.

I tried to get the lightbox effect to work, but so far no luck. That's my next goal.

PS - In case anyone actually reads this, I might be late tomorrow morning. I heard the LIRR will have delays because of construction work or something. Ugh.
