I'm making a site with wordpress www.thewhitetailhunter.com

I want to do a photo gallery but am not finding a good addon for it that will "fit" with the theme.  ...so I'm thinking to just make a page with the photos, but the settings of wordpress do not allow for the caption to be included with the photos (you have to hover over the pic to see the caption).

I can do a cool photo gallery with photoshop but I'd prefer to keep everything within the site (that is, use the same theme and look of the site)...

decisions, decisions....

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Wow, that was fast, Mitch!

Thanks!  Will check them out!

I see that I need to do better searches for their plugins.  I checked out a couple of those on the list but did not see the complete list before.

Thank you, Mitch!

Just to see how it looks, I did a "photo gallery" in a post (rather than using a "gallery" plugin): http://thewhitetailhunter.com/?cat=4

What do you think?

...I'm thinking I can get the job done in a post instead of using a photo gallery plugin.

All constructive comments, positive or negative, greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I like it, there was one picture that wasn't showing up for me though, on the right side, 7 pictures down. (caption is Rod's Nov 11, 1998 180 in 6x5 Buck in Athens) and the fact you've hunted with Ted Nugent, just made you 10% cooler in my book. Very Happy   lol

If you are comparing posts vs gallery - I kind of like the post idea more, because then you can include a little more back-story and text about the picture.  I think either way looks good though.

I must confess that I'm not the one that hunted with Ted.  It's a friend of a friend that I'm doing the site for: Rod Nutter...a fairly big name on the deer hunting circuit.

Odd.  I can see the pic in FF and IE.

I'll have some others check it out to see if I can figure what's up with the one you can't see.

I've had beers with Daryl Hall (Hall & Oates), Robin Campbell (UB40) and James Taylor (yep, THE James Taylor) ...(not all at one sitting Smile ).  Does that count for [more than] 15 minutes of fame?

 Very Happy
