Arguably the most important WordPress plug-in for any website that displays a lot of photos, the NEXGEN Gallery is very easy to use and it only takes a few minutes to learn it.

This tutorial assumes the following:
· You have chosen the photos you want to upload
· The photos have been optimized, i.e., its size is below 1MB. Optimal size is actually below 500K
· Though the server will tell you that it can handle up to 10MB per file, it is still better to have smaller sizes for the image (photo) files.
· You don’t really need Firefox for this one. Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera actually works very well with NEXGEN Gallery

Step 1

In the Admin Area (DASHBOARD) hover your mouse on GALLERY (figure 1). A drop down box will appear, choose ADD GALLERY (figure 2)
