Photo gallery goes live with NextGEN Gallery
Posted by Pavan Chander | Filed under Web
Well another element of my site has been added and implemented, now its just a matter of maintaining content.
Yes, I’m talking about the photo gallery. I found NextGEN Gallery a while ago and thought it was completely unstable but after playing around with it some more tonight I figured out the source of my problems, the plugin cannot handle high resolution images. Which to many might be a shame, but I disagree, any images that I would put up on my site are meant to be easily viewable and having images that are so big that they require a great deal of scrolling defeats the purpose of sharing them. Even if in the future NextGEN Gallery starts supporting higher resolution pictures I would still only show them at around 800×600, after all if someone really wants to be able to zoom in and fill a whole screen with my nose they can ask me for the originals which I would still have…
If anyone is considering hosting their pictures on wordpress, this is definitly the plugin to try out.
Edit: As it seems no one reads the word ‘Photos‘ at the top, im providing a link.
