SimpleViewer is a free, customizable image gallery for WordPress. The plugin allows you to create simple galleries like the one above from images stored in your WordPress libary or your Flickr feed.

To be honest we had lots of problems importing images from Flickr which is why we can’t show you an example. Although SimpleViewer does seem simple enough in my opinion there’s too many better plugins that you can use as an alternative.

As a photo gallery builder svBuilder does seem to offer the options we need from an application like this…. but it’s a desktop application and there’s nothing I can see that isn’t already in the NextGen gallery options…… within WordPress.

When it works….. it works quite nicely but for my money it still has a long way to go to topple NextGen.
