While trying to solve my nextgen problem (re: the previous post), I saw several options for embedding photo galleries in WordPress and was pleasantly surprised with the photo gallery feature that comes with WordPress 2.5. It can be quite handy to post multiple photos to a blog without taking up as much space as I now use. Large thumbnails can be used for display and clicking will reveal the larger size. I am putting this feature to the test with some images I uploaded to the gallery.

Looks quite attractive! Using a gallery for posts is definitely the way to go. At least it will ensure that the page loads in a shorter time. The major ommisson: no “Previous” or “Next” button.

Got this line of coding above the photo when I clicked on the thumbnail and opened up the medium size:

“s // This lets us style narrow icons speciall”

In addition, after clicking on the medium size and getting the large, clicking on the large to go back to medium sometimes brought up a small white box in the top left of the browser. It maybe theme related but a definite no-no for me.

I tried inserting images from nextgen gallery into the post and got the same white box error above. After troubleshooting, I found out  Snap Shot was causing a conflict which was resolved by removing Snap Shot. The script output however, still remains.
