I just spent a few hours setting up nGallery on my site. It was real easy, very simple install, just worked !! AND IT’s FREE !!
I then hacked around with a template for a bit and got it looking the same as the rest of my website (which uses the Dasblog Portal – Compass theme)
Basically I have a welcome screen which is a hacked version of a single blog entry, that is static and then ‘under’ that I now have my weblog (Dasblog) and my photos (nGallery). Everything has the same theme and it all looks pretty good (even if I do say so myself).
If you’d like details of my hacks or a copy of the nGallery theme then let me know, I do plan to make it publically available (on the nGallery site) but it’s not quite at that stage yet – stay tuned…
