I want to thank you again for the guest post. It opened up a nice conversation and I think people really enjoyed it!

It's fairly easy to use, although some users get confused by the fact that they have to insert a photo from the gallery into their posts instead of using the normal media icon.

You can define the photos into galleries and even albums, and there are varies ways of adding them to posts or to the sidebar. It also supports multiple widgets.

There is a “roles” section where you can define which user-levels are required for the different functions, and one feature that I particularly like is being able to define a watermark that is added to the pictures when they are uploaded. If you are blogging from a mobile device or from an internet café without access to a graphics editor this can be a real help!

The only downside is that the image rotator for the slideshow requires a license for commercial use. It's not that I object to someone earning money for writing such a great plug-in, but I found it very difficult to find the right option to actually purchase the license from the online store.

The video is a great idea, especially for copyright purposes. The gal
with the question was wanting to be able to add photos at any time,
which is hard to do with a video.

I think with the second option I wrote about, if one web optimized their
images (72dpi) and made them no larger than needed for the sidebar, they
shouldn't have to worry too much… the images wouldn't be printable.
And, if one was still worried that could watermark their images!

Great info post, now I really should get to uploading my new logo
