Wordpress Photo plugins: Update
17th September 2007 by Simon
Back in March I wrote a piece about plugins that could be used to show photos in Wordpress. Well today I did some more research and found a bunch more sine the last time. Here’s the summary of the update …
Aniga gallery. “manage your pictures in categories and albums”. “Its integrated in the WP posts system and uses the WP comments for pictures.” “Add Picture Captions”. Slideshows too. Look very comprehensive.
Enlarger - show larger versions of images within the same page. Auto reformat text to account for larger image. Neat fade.
WPG2 is a Wordpress Plug-in that embeds Gallery2 within Wordpress. Might be a bit over speced for current needs.
PictPress 1.0 - “automatically generates a post with thumbnails and picture posts for all images found in a directory.” Like the idea of the simplicity. Only talk about support for WP 1.5, so might be out of date. Example site looks good.
I’ve been amazed at how many of the plugins don’t give screen shots of what they look like whne they’re running, or access to a site using the tools. How are us supposed to make a decision about a visually-driven tool without being able to see it?
On another angle - Gallery2 Image Chooser is an interesting tool to allow you to select images form the Gallery2 collection of photos - then auto-insert them into a posting
PhotoQ makes it easy to create photo-focused blogs - “It is most suited for “one photo a day”-style web pages i.e., classical photoblogs.”
Random Image Plugin for WordPress. Nifty

But, this would be a fairly involved project and I wanted to get my photos posted as soon as possible. I looked at a few wordpress plugins. Some of them looked pretty nice. But, there was still the question of where to actually store the photos. I guess I have a certain amount of space through wordpress.com, but I wasn’t sure what rights I would retain in storing files on their servers. […]
