WordPress Image Galleries – Test #1 FIAGallery
Aug 09
I’m testing various WordPress Image Galleries to assess various features and usability.
This first is FIAGallery. Its a free plugin with different “skins” and options for displaying your gallery in a pop-up window (I think…).
Let’s see how it works:
After I installed the plugin I now have a new icon in my post editor window to “Add Flash Album Gallery.” I’m going to click it and see what happens:
My Fabulous Son

that was easy. I got a window that asked me to select the album…
YIKES! the first Skin I chose had a large BUY NOW banner on it. I didn’t realize that the skins were so costly! So I went back to their site and downloaded several more basic free skins. The SlideShow Skin that is currently showing is FREE!
Two of my images did not upload properly at first (but that could be my connection timing out). But it was easy to go back to my gallery and add more images. I think I like this plugin!
