I keep getting e-mails on how to add a photo album to your blog. This is not at all as difficult as you might have thought. I’m sure most of you already know this but I am obsessed with WordPress plugins. So of course the easiest way to add a photo album to your WordPress blog is by using a plugin.
Photo Album WordPress Plugins
My favorite one is the Flickr Photo Album for WordPress. The reason why is because you can just integrate your Flickr album into your blog.
The Yet another photoblog is a good way turn your WordPress blog into a photoblog. It is actually one of the best ones that I have found.
WP Photo Album is a good photo album if you would like to just upload your photos directly on your server. The only problem I see with this one is this your photo files are a large size.
Those are the three plugins that are best when it comes to creating a photo blog or photo album. The best thing is that you don’t have to create yourself. So for the people that have e-mailed me, I hope this helps.
This post is part of my WordPress tutorials. I’ve talked about having a logo into your WordPress header. And then Monday I talked about adding video into your sidebar. I hope you enjoy.

The flickr photo album (in my opinion) is definitely the way to go. You don’t have to worry about much – just upload it to flickr and you are good to go. The great thing about it is that you can usually upload images to your flickr account using software that many people have on their computers. For example, I use iPhoto on my mac. I have an export feature where I can export directly to my flickr account when I take pictures off my camera. It also doesn’t take any of my own bandwidth, so it’s all in all a great option.
If “yet another” is as good as the related post plugin of the same name, then that’s the one for me!
They’re pretty much the same. That’s what I have found out.
Hi Franklin – Thanks for mentioning YAPB
@Leslie: The main cause why i wrote and maintain YAPB (and several photoblogging apps before) since 2006 is, that i want to have all rights on my own photos: I explained that in detail on the YAPB main page. Services like Flickr are very cool and comfortable and i doubt that i can compete with them in terms of features they offer – BUT i host my photos on my own server and don’t need a laywer to know what rights others have on my images if i host them elsewere… Nevertheless: Happy photoblogging and greets from Salzburg!
