I’ve got a client right now who wants a slick photo gallery added to her blog. One with thumbnails leading to bigger pop-ups etc. She’s an artist: so, it’s fitting. I spent about three or four hours searching through all the stuff out there: hitting up Google good and proper.

One of the most interesting ones I came across is the Photo Galleria dealio.

Photo Galleria is a simple, yet elegant, plugin for photographers, designers and Wordpress 2.5 users alike who want to beautify their Wordpress photo galleries using the jquery framework. The Photo Galleria plugin synchronizes Galleria with Wordpress’ built-in media manager. Simply upload photos as normal and the Photo Galleria plugin will create a photo gallery with fade-in and fade-out effects common on flash-based websites. All the transitions happen inline without having to navigate to multiple Wordpress attachment pages. Pretty neat, eh?

Did you catch that? …jquery! Bitchin’!

And, here’s a demo. Pretty cool! And, I get to close another tab!

Rock Web Money!
