Alex Rabe's NextGen Gallery is hands down the most popular plugin(by means of total downloads) available for WordPress. NextGen Gallery supports multiple photo galleries, multiple ways to display your photos, and other developers are even creating sub plugins for it! Once installed, you will be able to include your photo albums on both Pages and Posts, as a slideshow (see the following note), image list, or image gallery.

Note

Note: To take advantage of the Flash Slideshow display, you will need to download JW Image Rotator from http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-image-rotator...
