Very simple gallery

    Hello, I need to incorporate a very simple gallery into my webpage and it seems a lot of the PHP galleries offered on the web would be overkill. Here's what I am looking for.

    Now I have about 20 photos. I would like to have them vertically 5 to a page most recent being at the top. The photos would also be marked or tagged with certain category info (by location, subject, etc). The menu to be in the left column with those categories. When a category is clicked all of the corresponding photos of that category show up on one page vertically from the top. Ta-Da!!

    As of now I dont want comments, I dont want ratings, I dont need watermarking, and I dont want it thumbnailed nor multiple upload capabilities. Just the photos vertically from the top, with related text underneath each one and a menu of categories to choose. Keeping it simple for now.

    Where can I find this? What is the technical name for this? PHP, CSS, etc.
    Is it easy to make?

    I really want to keep it simple.
    Thank you.

    One approach is to install Wordpress in a subdirctory and use the NextGEN gallery pluggin.

    Best thing would probably be to use WordPress as mikig said above.

    If your site is already running on WordPress that'd make it easier, if not just install it on a page you don't want indexed then search for and install a gallery plugin to add to that WordPress page and then you can copy the source code back in to the original page you want your gallery on.

    There's a lot of good gallery plugins available if you just search 'WordPress Gallery Plugin' in Google. (I'm not sure if I can add direct links here yet, so just try that)
