It’s grim up north

I have managed to get some time to try out the PHP based web photo album application Gallery 2 and I must say that it really kicks some serious ass. It has all the features I could have asked for and a really wide array of plugins. The single most powerful application I’ve ever seen in this category. Installation, setup and further configuration is really smooth. Try it! Did I mention that it is free?

In addition to this I upgraded Wordpress to the latest 2.3 version for the sole purpose of linking WordPress and Gallery 2. The built-in image uploading/linking support wasn’t very good but the WPG2 plugin will take care of that. It’s really wonderfull to be able to pick pictures from your entire collection with just a few clicks. WPG2 also enables Gallery browsing seamless from withing the WordPress blog. Try it out using the Gallery link above!
