I gave up with the Gallery. The new WP doesn’t have that much options with its gallery. Sure you can upload multiple photos at one time but after you put the gallery code in your editor and set how many columns, rows, etc you like to display then that’s it. WordPress will just display a thumbnail of all of the photos. Boring! Then if you click a thumbnail, the full size will be displayed in another page—that is so uncool!

Then there are plugins like Lightbox JS and the others for WP gallery but I guess they are intended for coders themselves and not for common WordPress users like me. I am sorry but I have tried to install this plugin (lightbox JS and the likes) several times following different approaches but all failed. It just doesn’t work.

So I settled with Pictobrowser. It’s neater and you’ll be able to see the photo’s full size in the same page. I wanted to host my own photos but Pictobrowser only works if your photos are hosted by Flickr. By doing so, I am not using WP 2.5.1’s gallery which is so bad because the gallery is supposed to be what WP 2.5 is all about (schade!)!
