Free Online Photo Gallery Tools




This week I had at look at the variety of free photo gallery editors that were reviewed by the Online Journalism Review.

They were looking for one that would work best for a start-up or small-scale news website. SlideFlickr, BubbleShare, PictureTrail and Picasa were all tested and tried, but the people at OJR decided that Google-owned Picasa was the victor.

So I decided to try out Picasa to see if it was really a winner.

After waiting for it to download, and waiting for it to sort through my entire computer for my photo files, I was a bit confused about what to do next.

How did I get it from there to uploading my photos onto the web? Perhaps it should have come with easier instructions.

But after some guess work and help from the OJR’s review, I found out how to add captions and place it into my blog.

I do not think it was as user-friendly as the Online Journalism Review suggested it would be, but it is a great way to make ordinary pictures more interesting through a slideshow.

It was also relatively fast to make a photo gallery.

These are the links to these photo gallery tools:
