Pat’s Point of View

I’ve been playing around with Gallery 2 recently, to handle all my online photo albums. What a great piece of software! The installer is fantastic, telling you exactly what’s happening and helping you to do what’s needed. Makes most commercial software look stupid and amateurish.

This is a very nice solution, highly customisable and standards based. It replaces the awful code spewed out of iPhoto, and free Flickr solutions I have been using. I’ve used Web Album Generator which is good, but only for PC and won’t integrated with my centralised iPhoto Library.

I’m using iPhotoToGallery, the Gallery exporter for iPhoto, which makes it easy to publish albums. And WPG2, the Gallery plugin for WordPress, allows integration with my blog.

Expect something to show for all this playing, very soon.
