This week we discuss making an image gallery. We talk about expectations, asking what do you want out of your gallery? What kind of management do you need? As well as other features to consider when setting one up. Things like Lightbox, watermarking, hotlink protection, download management, and weighing the benefits of self-hosted vs using a hosting service.
For WordPress users there’s the gallery shortcode as well as a number of plugins available.(NextGEN Gallery, Image Gallery Reloaded, etc.)
There’s also stand-alone scripts such as the popular Galleryproject.
Services mentioned include Flickr, Photobucket, and Instagram.
