    I've been testing and testing plugins, Gallery, Exhibition, Singapore, Simple PHP Gallery, but can't find one that is lightweight and does what I want.

    1. Must autogenerate thumbnails
    2. Must allow for names and descriptions for each image to be edited/added directly in the browser (so my mum can use it!)
    3. Ideally integrates easily with Wordpress without too much scabbling about.
    4. In a perfect world, it would have a plugin to allow inserting of individual images from the gallery into a post as well.

    Any ideas! This is driving me nuts, why is WP so bad with images...

    EDIT - Just found Enhanced Simple PHP Gallery - looks a bit more promising - http://www.quirm.net/showcategory.php?categoryid=12

    Ah I do love answering my own posts. That rosy glow of satisfaction. Alothough Simply PHP Gallery seems to save the descriptiosn to a text file, and not mySQL.... dang!

    Yup yup... I find it hard to believe that it is such a hard thing to do with Wordpress. It needs some native support for this stuff - it handles text fine and dandily, but surely at least half of it's users must put images into their blogs?

    I guess an Image-Blog or Photo-Blog is simply very different from a Gallery?

    I have a gazillion pictures - but I only use a plugin für uploading and making popups.

    Yeah I guess they are quite different... but what if you are difficult and want both :-)

    Ps. what's the crazy swimming pool place on your blog???

    As much as I remember a shot from Tokyo ... a small place and hardly any people around. ;-)

    Many WP people seperate Blog & Gallery.

    So far I haven't any software that can do good media management, a gallery and a blog. Or maybe ... Drupal and Mambo spring to mind ... but I am not speaking from real experience here.

    I keep my gallery seperate, and I use EUWDPCpix to do it, and it's easy to make it look like your blog

    example

    Still has some bugs and won't work in IE.

    But in FF it's VERY useful!
