Hey Sean, glad I could help to spark the creativity. Kelly actually uses Lightroom as it seems to be the tool of choice for professionals. I would love to check out the site if you want to drop a link. Thanks again for dropping by to check out the site, more interesting WordPress insite is on the way soon.

Thanks for posting this. You got me thinking about combining the SimpleViewer Lightroom plugin (http://theturninggate.net/lightroom/ttg-simpleviewer-gallery) with the WP-SimpleViewer plugin. My wife is starting up her own photography business, and she is now able to build her gallery and upload her pictures directly to her Wordpress site from Lightroom.

Hi Tracey, thanks for the kind words. Actually there is a plugin that allows you to do most of the updating via the WordPress admin panel. It is acutally a combination of two tools that make up the WP-Simple-Viewer gallery. Now I don’t necessarily recommend it for all as it does require some basic image manipulation as well as a bit of FTP knowledge, but Kelly being a photographer it should prove to be quite easy for her to use. Shoot me an email and I can give you some details on how I used the plugin to fit this particular site. I happen to have included a short tutorial with her site, something I try to do when creating more of a content management system for a client. I would be happy to share. Beautiful portfolio by the way! Thanks again.

It’s a lovely site, Jeremy, well done. I’ve created a very similar Flash gallery for a client in the past. I’m interested to know if your client’s Flash gallery can be updated via a Wordpress plugin or whether each piece has to be inserted via Flash and HTML (the normal way). I’m not aware of any plugin that allows a client to update a Flash gallery in a client-friendly way, and I’d be very interested to know if one exists. Thanks.
