Upgrade to Gallery3

In preparation for the new joshandmeg.net 3.0 (it’s nearly finished, I promise!), I upgraded our Gallery installation to the new Gallery 3 Release Candidate. Gallery 3 is a complete rewrite of the application from the ground up, it’s significantly more responsive because of the rewrite, but a lot of the old functionality provided by add-on modules has not been ported over to Gallery 3 yet (so no shopping carts or downloading to a .zip file). I’m hoping the speed improvements will help with the time-out issues that people are sporadically experiencing with the site, so let me know if it helps at all.
All the old pictures and albums have been brought over, and to test out the new install I uploaded a great new album with some pictures from our trip to the zoo this weekend. The kids are getting much more interested in all the animals and they are really getting into things now. The Fort Worth Zoo also finally finished the new Museum of Living Art (MOLA) exhibit, which is this really nice indoor/outdoor mixture of all the snakes, lizards, frogs, alligators, fish, turtles, etc. The kids had a blast going through it, but the day did start out pretty rough. Xavier stood up in the wagon right as I started to pull it and ended up flipping out over the back of it and smashing his head pretty hard on the concrete. He had a huge knot and we were a bit worried he might have had a concussion there for a while, he really did hit it hard. But the knot went down by the end of the day and he finally started acting himself again after about an hour.
Check out the new album here, and let me know if it works any better (try out the slick new slide show stuff 
).
Also, when I launch the new joshandmeg.net theme, I’m going to start on a matching Gallery theme as well, so the site will finally be all tied together under one look.
