Another Wordpress thread

[Wheels]

I am tinkering about with my new photo blog, having never used wordpress before what kind of photo album would you use? A animated flash version? or have a section with event, place and date? say for motorsport I have only so far been to a race track near me, so would you upload photos individually with a description and then scroll down through 100's of photos or what? Im kinda lost on this at the moment, I have got a flickr account now (nothing in it yet) I have photobucket, and also a picturetrail account. Which of these or others would you recommend for wordpress?

Thanks

I think a good way of hosting pictures within wordpress is to use the NEXTGEN gallery. Its a plug in you can install through your control panel and will allow slideshows etc etc

I would agree with the above, I use nextgen in my Wordpress site, nextgen is a Wordpress plug-in.

Is nextgen a free plugin? Sorry for the noob question!

 

[strax]

Next Gen is good although I ended up having to move to Shadow Box (I think it's called) as Next Gen stopped working with my theme and other plugin combinations.

There plenty the choose from though

I cant get the 1st album to come up in the page I want it to, I can put the images on individually but not as a slideshow etc

I should have also mentioned, I currently have it dissabled whilst I am sorting something out with the blog.
