Organizing Large Photo Collections Online — Use the NextGen Gallery WordPress Plugin
July 27th, 2008 | Posted in WordPress |
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.
