I installed Gallery today as part of the preparations for getting the Rome photos online (they’re being developed currently). Gallery, like Movable Type, is an excellent freeware application with more features than you can shake a stick at, and lots of room for plug-ins and customizing.
It was a very smooth install; the only hitch being I had to upgrade my Java VM before I was able to run the Gallery Remote tool that makes bulk uploading of pictures MUCH easier. I used one of the included skins, which doesn’t really match the color theme for this blog, but it’s cute. Over time I may tweak the CSS some to bring them closer in line, but this is a personal site, so 100% consistency in look & feel is not my most important priority.
There’s a link the the galleries over on the right side of this blog, or you can see them here. Pix from Rome should go online in the next couple of days.
