NextGEN Gallery
Created by
Alex Rabe
NextGEN Gallery is a fully integrated Image Gallery plugin for WordPress with a slideshow option. Before I started writing the plugin I studied all the existing image and gallery plugins for WordPress. Some of them are really good and well designed, but the gap I filled was a simple administration system at the back end which can also handle multiple galleries.

Great plugin. Use it on all of my sites and those that I develop.
This plugin really saved my but this week! I bought a plugin for a photo gallery that was awful. NextGen Gallery to the rescue! Quick, simple and perfect for any project!
