Ever searched for the perfect gallery plugin only to find all of them a bit too much, or not exactly right for your design?

Me too. This is why I wrote this. The end result is an unordered list of your pictures as thumbnails linking to the original
size pictures.

It will connect to your picasa albums (so a google account is a must). It will get a list of all your albums (even the private ones). Because of this, the plugin will need to store your google credentials. These are stored encrypted in the DB though. It will ask you where you want to display the gallery.

Be aware though, that you will have to style the images yourself. I recommend a lightbox plugin, as all the pictures have a rel=[dude] added to them (so that they count as one set of images).

What is to come:

  • Remote authentication (even if your db is compromised, the key is not stored there, so they will not be to get your data from the cyphers)
  • Multiple albums
  • Shortcodes
  • Some simple styling (entirely your choice)
