WPG2 which stands for WordPress Gallery 2 is the new way to go for avid photobloggers. I’ve just integrated Gallery2 into my WP blog, so now it’s easier to post pics and have a standard template at the same time. To allow my Gallery and Blog look similar, I had to change my theme. Previously I was using a theme called Mallow, now I’m using Gemini WPG2 Theme. I had customised it to look like my previous theme though. There’s only a few WPG2 automatic themes out there. You can get them from the WPG2 wiki site itself or other sites like this one.
The integration is really cool. At least Gallery now looks better, and I can do everything within the WP admin site. You can also upload directly from WinXP folder instead of through FTP or the web browser interface. But the coolest thing is I can show pics from the Gallery with the plugin simply with the wpg tag. For example the Food album is shown here.
well done, leona. 🙂
