Photo Gallery
There are many ways to display images in a gallery. This section will showcase a few different methods.
CoffeeCup Photo Gallery
A quick and inexpensive way to get a gallery online is with CoffeeCup Photo Gallery software. It supports all major image formats, including .GIF, .JPG, .PNG, .BMP and can be embeded in any website that uses Flash. Photos can be sorted into separate albums and you can add captions to each photo. By using different backgrounds, colors, templates, and layouts, the gallery can be tailored to the existing look-and-feel of your website. To give the experience more depth, you can even include sounds and music.
I've installed a few CoffeeCup galleries in my client websites. Also, you can view the Custom Woodwork and Angels galleries which are listed to the left.
CSS Based Image Gallery
I came across a cool new method that uses an unordered list and CSS (cascading style sheets). Most of the galleries available make use of Javascript whereas this has none, so it can be seen by people that have disabled scripts, or who don't have it available. Let me know what you think.

Next time around, I'll get closer so the flash is more effective.
