I hope to have these adjustments very soon. PhotoXhibit, formally [Benjamin Sterling Galleries](http://benjaminsterling.com/benjaminsterlinggalleries/ "Benjamin Sterling Galleries"), was born out of the fires of so many not-so-great gallery/image manager plugins for WordPress. This plugin uses photos from your Flickr, Picasa, and/or SmugMug accounts as well as allows you to upload and build Albums to help you build inviting Photo Galleries on and through out your site. = Features: = * Independent gallery creator for post, pages, and sidebar * The ability to create a gallery based of some of the most popular JavaScript based gallery plugins * Ability to customize each gallery's appearance with a styles editor * Ability to grab your photos from Flickr, Picasa, and/or SmugMug * An easy to use interface for adding photos directly to a post or page from Flickr and SmugMug (Picasa and Albums coming soon) * Easily create and upload Albums with a single thumbnail or two different size thumbnails * Easily turn features on and off via the options tab = The following list of jQuery plugins are used in PhotoXhibit to help you build out your galleries: = * [jqGalView](http://benjaminsterling.com/jquery-jqgalview-photo-gallery/ "Image/Photo Gallery Viewer using jQuery") * [jqGalViewII](http://benjaminsterling.com/jquery-jqgalviewii-photo-gallery/ "jQuery: jqGalViewII (Photo Gallery)") * [jqGalScroll](http://benjaminsterling.com/jquery-jqgalscroll-photo-gallery/ "jQuery: jqGalScroll 2.0 (Photo Gallery)") * [cycle](http://jquery.com/plugins/project/cycle/ "Cycle Plugin") * [lightBox](http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/ "LightBox Plugin") * [Thickbox](http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/ "Thickbox Plugin") * [lightbox (balupton edition)](http://jquery.com/plugins/project/jquerylightbox_bal/ "Lightbox (balupton edition)") * [jqShuffle](http://benjaminsterling.com/jquery-jqshuffle/ "jqShuffle") = After you have had a chance to use this plugin, please come back and rate it and leave comments for improving it = Full support will be handled at the [PhotoXhibit website](http://benjaminsterling.com/photoxhibit/ "http://benjaminsterling.com/photoxhibit/") = PLEASE NOTE !
