wordpress: photo galleries

By Len De Groot   ·   Updated Jun 5, 2011   ·   Print Print

Introduction

WordPress does a fair job of providing a way to quickly create photo galleries. But it doesn't provide a way to manage the large number of galleries and photos that appear over time on news sites. 

In this tutorial, we'll explain how the WordPress Media Library and galleries work. We'll explain how to set up and use the Nextgen Gallery plugin to improve photo management. And we'll explore how to integrate some plugins that use Nextgen Gallery to create sophisticated slideshows and galleries that can be rated or contributed to by users.

I'm in awe of the big picture sites of the Chicago Tribune and the Boston Globe (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/). Any ideas, directions, suggestions that could help me set up a similar site for me and my J-students would be greatly appreciated. gmorris@hunter.cuny.edu
