Hi Folks,

As you can see the “photos” link is missing from the navigation up above. I’ve gotten fed up with Gallery 2 and the integration with WordPress (WPG2) so I’ve decided to shut it down and find an alternative. WPG2 kept having issues anytime anything changed in Gallery2 (modules updating, etc) and I got tired of fixing them. I also found Gallery2 to be too bloated and slow, it would take days to upload photos. To top it all off, it was like pulling teeth to skin/integrate the damn thing into a WordPress template. So G2 is nuked.

I’m playing around with NEXTGen Gallery right now, it seems promising and solves many of the issues I was having with Gallery2. My one beef is that it doesn’t manage videos, but since I don’t have that many I might just settle for WordPress’ internal media manager for now. I have to work on the NEXTGen template to tweak it to my liking; If I can clean up the link placement (“show picture list”) and maybe fart around with some thumbnails below the large image I’ll be in business.

Once I get the template ironed out and I’m satisfied with the NEXTGen plugin I’ll work on putting my gallery of photos back together and restore that link in the navigation.

Thanks for baring with me!

Scott
