I have been working with PhotoQ which allows batch uploading and automatic resizing of images. There are several themes that it supports out of the box, but it is customizable to any theme.

This is brilliant just what I was looking for to showcase my angling photos. Hadn’t thought of using something like wordpress was going to design from scratch. This will save me loads of time.
Thanks

A very good introduction to building a photo gallery in wordpress. However, I wonder how easy it would be to integrate a full fledged photo software with wordpress instead of using a plugin. For example, there is the “Gallery” open source project which allows you to build a photo gallery and comes with lots of features.

Thanks for sharing. How, however, do you deal with the image size? Your family won’t get great printing results if they right-clik and download low-resolution images that fit in the blog layout. They would have to access the high, original resolution to get better results but how will they do that with WordPress? With a link to the original size file, maybe? Aaaaaaaah I see

And, by the way, in the “Build a blog” link you suggest as a demo of this setup you are hosting your photos on Picasa, not on your WordPress blog. It looks like your idea is not so great though and that I should stick to my Flickr account that offers many more impressive features.

If what you need is just a photo album, why not using Flickr or Picasa, uh ?

The only problem is that you will upload a “one size fits all” image

Hi there,
Thanks for the article – it’s really clear and helpful. I’ve just created a photo blog (www.eyelives) with Autofocus theme. I had to do a bit of tweaking to the code to eliminate some functions (eg. ExiF data) but it has worked out nicely. A good resource are the forums on WordPress.org – there are answers there to almost all questions. And, the developer of Autofocus, Allan Cole, also helps iron out any bugs in his comments section. Best, Christine
