Yes, the Java imageio API is painful. I used it to create a function to get image dimensions, but having experienced the pain once I just used a shell script for resizing.
If you're still struggling with multiple-image uploads, one approach is to have the user make a zip file; not so hard today, as you can right-click a set of files in your file browser. Also see
Windows XP also has a web publishing wizard that actually works well once you figure out how to use it. Feel free to reverse-engineer the ourdoings.com implementation of it.
You probably aren't going to write a photo sharing web site if you considered it and haven't started yet. You kind of have to be obsessed with it to work through all the details. Since you haven't started you aren't obsessed, and probably wouldn't enjoy it.
btw, what does your website do? I can't really tell from the front page, or anything else I clicked on. If it has something to do with photos, maybe there should be some images somewhere? I might be able to figure it out if I really made an effort, but I generally avoid making efforts :) (and I tend to think other people do as well, though they won't always admit it)
