| Welcome to Meteor Galleries! | Meteor Galleries is a an animation artwork gallery web application project.
Meteor Galleries is intended for use by those who collect Japanese animation artwork -- but other collectors may also want to use it. It is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, while allowing more freedom than the traditional choices for maintaining a gallery web site.
As many of my fellow collectors may well know, maintaining one's own gallery on a regular web site can be a rather daunting task. Updates are often extremely time-consuming and tedious, as thumbnail creation and HTML page writing takes a lot of time when you're adding a lot of artwork. Meteor Galleries seeks to simplify all of that, while allowing you to remain on your own web hosting with far more control over the look of your own site.
03.08.2010: Meteor Galleries version 3 Launch!
The next version of Meteor Galleries is finished. It is now available in both upgrade and full install forms on the Downloads page. All documentation has been updated as well. The Spreadsheet and Links plugins have also been updated for the new version, though they will still function on some older versions (installing the new plugins on any MG site pre-v2.0 is NOT recommended). The Photo Gallery Edition of MG v3.0 is forthcoming, so please check back for that soon, if you are interested.
03.12.2009: Over the past week, I discovered a handful of little things that I wanted to fix immediately, including some odd behavior with dates on some MySQL installations. The fixed full install and update packages are now available on the downloads page. I will continue to fix small bugs that crop up as v3 continues to be used on production sites. For anyone who has already downloaded and installed the new version BEFORE today, I will be releasing a patch that will fix a potential database bug that will cause the date added and last updated dates to function improperly, as well as include all files updated since the original MG v3 launch.
New offer! For the cost of a $24 per year, you can have a gallery hosted on meteorgalleries.com and maintained by MG's developer. For details, please email MG's developer via the contact form. |
