        Yeah. Many of my users have a gallery 1.5 installation in their public_html folder. (e.g. http://scandy.forsythia.net/gallery). Recently Gallery 2 was released, which is a complete rewrite and built around an SQL backend and is completely modularized. (e.g. http://scandy.forsythia.net/gallery2) . I haven’t made the official switch over to gallery 2 for our gallery because they haven’t made an RSS module for it yet. Both have iPhoto plugins so you can just export albums from your iPhoto directly into gallery.

        If you don’t want a full photo gallery system, another alternative is quick and dirty index generating scripts.. You just run it in a folder full of images and it creates thumbnails and an index.html page. One such one of those is called thumbnail_index found in /usr/ports/www/thumbnail_index/ on FreeBSD or http://www.acme.com/software/thumbnail_index/ if you are not. An example of what it’s output looks like: http://www.forsythia.net/~amoran/WoW/

        Either way, making people click through file names and load full sized images.. that’s just evil. 🙂
