4. flickrRSS

5. NextGEN-FlashViewer
The same NextGen plugin for Wordpress, only this time using The famous Adobe Flash Plugins (SimpleViewer, TiltViewer, AutoViewer, PostcardViewer)
Demo available at http://travel-junkie.com/geeky-stuff/wp-plugin-nextgen-flashviewer/
- plug and play, just like any other Wordpress plug-in
- easy to configure
- does no processing on the images (except for getting the image metadata), so it’s lightning fast
- you can have multiple galleries per post
- integrated with Wordpress 2.0’s wysiwyg editor (the way QuickTags is implemented doesn’t allow easy placing of buttons in the toolbar, but that’s not a big problem, since you are editing code, anyway)
- (since 0.2) output is customizable with templates

Thanks for the information.. Fixed my site with not problems.. Thanks again..
no problem. glad you liked the list. Which one did you end up using?
Your blog entry made it so much easier for me to choose which one I want to use. The thumbnail feature is very important I think as it keeps blog loading time fast. Visit my blog to take a look if you wish!
THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GREAT BLOGGING HERE!
kelly I checked out your blog! Great work on integrating the photo gallery. Looks very good!
Thank you my dear Gum-lover! I actually removed the plugin “Yet-Another-Photo-Blog” plugin cos it was making my sidebars look really wierd! So I will be trying another plugin and see if it works better. Keep your fingers crossed!
i couldn’t create the image gallery?
How i do this?
which one are you trying to work with?
Thanks for the post
Thanks for the list. Does any one know how to integrate NextGen Gallery with any Star Rating plugin? It would be great to find a plugin (not full theme) that gave you the same functionality but with the ability for users to rate each image.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks
Does anyone know of a wordpress plugin where viewers can rate the photos for a photo contest?
I am looking for the same thing. All I have found is photoracer on the word press plugin page. I haven’t used it yet because it is written in Italian.
you forgot the best one PhotoQ
That makes 4 of us now, looking for a Wordpress way to have photo contests on our blogs.
Has anyone come up with anything besides Photoracer?
I also am looking for a photo voting plugin for wordpress. I am trying to manage a contest where judges from all over the country will be looking at the pics and voting on them. There has to be a way!
Hey! that’s good collection……………keep going..
Great compilation!! Thank you so much, this makes my photo gallery selection so much easier……

does anyone know where i could get a plugin for image gallery like tastespotting, foodgawker or notcot? i would like to have that as a page in my latest blog soon. is awsom pixgallery suitable for that?

The KPicasa plugin is also a very slick way to put an entire photo gallery into a wordpress page or post. check out a demo on my site.
Hey! There is another and one of the best on my mind flash gallery. You should include it in this list. Named GRAND Flash Album Gallery – multi category flash skin based photo gallery with powerful admin. Thanks!
