Digital cameras have made taking pictures a snap for just about anyone. The only problem with digital pictures is showing them off to the world. That’s where the Internet comes in. Put your images up on your website and the problem is solved. The only thing is you have hundreds of pictures and organization now becomes an issue. Manually organizing them quickly becomes time consuming and if changes are needed it can upset the whole structure.

There are various photo gallery script out there that will allow you to organize and display all the images you can dream very neatly and allow for easy re-organization and management as well. There are a couple of good scripts called Coppermine and Gallery. Both are free and are very feature rich. The main drawback of both are they don’t run on just any hosting account and they are somewhat tricky to setup, configure and customize to your liking if you are not the programming type.
