I have been messing around on and off for the past week with Gallery2 and finally decided to make it visible on my site.
I really like the search capabilities it provides using the MySQL on my Linux Fedora 4 system.
What really has me sprung though are the "slide show capabilities"
There is so much more to this software and for that matter the Photo Gallery software I'm not sure which one I will stick with so I will have both up on the site for a while.
Photo Gallery integrates seamlessly into my Movableype blog system (that uses MySQL) I currently have and that is very nice! The developer also say this is really a package just starting off and is in its infancy, that's incredible I can't wait too see the product as it matures!
Gallery has so many tools I have just scratched the surface and is a bit more mature.
Both packages provide me with something new to learn and have been fun implementing as I learn more about each product I will be making changes along with the rest of the site
I will most likely drop and remove my "Photo Blog" altogether since discovering these other photo software packages I'm integrating into my system. There's more gallery software I can use on my system but for now I think I will stick with these two.
There is a bit of a learning curve on each one and I don’t want to learn another photo gallery software now with other things like shopping cart software still needing to be implemented. Besides these two pieces of software seem pretty hard to beat in my opinion, I have even looked at some major photo hosting sites and the look is very familiar and I bet they have Gallery2 as the software engine. Soon they may have Photo Gallery as it matures.
You can access the two photo gallery software’s by using the links on the side and see how each one is different but remember I just started using them so they are not totally set up just yet.
