  Great resource. I’m really digging the nice clean look of “Galleria”. I may have to change the one I’m using on my personal blog.

  Great list! Wondering if you know of a gallery where you can have sub-albums, i.e., within each image you’d have alternate images. I’m having an agonizing time finding one for my client’s site.
