Best way to make image gallery site

what is the best method to create a gallery website having only images, currently i am using coppermine, but i wish to change it and gallery 2 is a good option but is not very good looking, any other scripts which are safe and hackproof

 

I haven't tried it, but there is another one called Plogger:

i checked it out, its a good system for integration into an existing gallery but i doubt its ability as a standalone script.

 

i have used 4images,its great http://www.4homepages.de/

 

I use gallery2 a lot. It has strong SEO potential and has some good plugins. Here's one I built recently http://www.pureanimegallery.com using Gallery2. It's problem is that it needs a server with some grunt to run it.

There's also zenphoto which is much quicker, but IMO - less cool for SEO.

 

Agreed. Gallery2 works great.

 

But Gallery2 looks the best possible option.
You may try it and change the looks / styles.

 

Gallery2 is also available as a 3rd party integration module in Drupal, also in other CMS probably. More options for the future in this way, adding more easely a forum, blog etc.
Other gallery modules in Drupal: Acidfree Albums, Brilliant Gallery, Gallerix, IMCE_Gallery...

 

so most of you recommending gallery2, then i will have to integrate it in drupal or may be joomla to make it look best.

 

i would recommend 4images

 

hi
i use picasa as a gallery link for my joomla site. I think you can even use a flickr module for pictures

 

Have you tried Pixel Post? I am looking for one to use with my blog right now.

I have use Gallery 2 and it integrates well with Joomla. Gallery 2 is SE friendly too. But I just want to try something new and Pixel Post seems to be a good candidate for my needs
