Hi khippy! I've done the same sort of thing for pictures that we take on our digital camera. Sort of an online photo album.

The one thing that I would like to say is to not lock yourself into a technology to implement this. Do you want to use XML because you think that's the best way to approach this problem, or because you just want to learn something new? Either one is a fine reason, but I think it bears thinking about before you get yourself buried in implementation.

If you know exactly what you want to do and how it should look and you have an idea of how to do it with straight HTML and CGI.pm, then I would just go that route. There is definitely something to be said for choosing the right tool for the job.
