Organizing Large Photo Collections Online — Use the NextGen Gallery WordPress Plugin
July 27th, 2008 | Posted in blog 7 Comments »
If you have a lot of photos that you want to organize online, like this site, don’t manually embed them into individual html pages. You’ll either go insane or your family will leave you.
Instead, use the NextGen Gallery plugin (and a WordPress self-hosted blog). The NextGen Gallery plugin allows you to upload zip files of photos in one batch and arrange them in galleries and albums so quickly it’ll feel like cheating. (Here’s an example of NextGen Gallery implementation.)

NextGen is the bomb. On my personal website, I have ~50 galleries of family pictures and nextgen has made it pretty easy to seamlessly integrate into wordpress. Prior to using this plugin I used Gallery (the application that comes with cpanel), but it was far from a streamlined way to present your images along side of a WP install.
I find that if you want to archive galleries, you should create an Album and use that as the appropriate container. It’s useful for when you have a lot of content to manage.
speaking of wordpress, this was an interesting link:

I have used Google Picasa to store all my pictures but it is a big pain to organize all the stuff there. Thanks for sharing such a cool link. I think it is the easiest way to manage all my huge photo database.
Nice job with this share some great info will come real usefull.
The NAples green builder example that you have given here is very impressive. thanks for the info
Aahhh this is such a good resource. I’ve been manually putting my photos online one by one and this seems like the answer to my prayers. Great link, many thanks for sharing
The NextGen Gallery is the only photo plugin to use for serious photo people. However, I think Smug Mug (smugmug.com) is also an excellent resource for storing your photos.
I am pretty thankful that I determined this particular page. This’s just the information I was on the lookout for.
