Photo galleries up and running

The galleries are 98% done and should be useable. Each blog post has an associated gallery that is essentially automatic.

I used MT-PhotoGallery and MTEmbedImage to make it as simple and easy to maintain as possible. Make a weblog post, specify a folder name in the Keywords field, then upload all your images into that newly created folder. MTEmbedImage takes all the images and makes thumbnails for them, and then MT-PhotoGallery sets up a simple gallery.

It works well and looks pretty good, the only issue that still remains is when a photo is taller than it is wide. When that is the case, the thumbnail created is much larger than normal because the size is only based on width. It would be nice to specify a width or a height the thumbnail image should be. It would also be nice to be able to make more than one size thumbnail in one step. Hopefully I'll figure out these little upgrades soon.
