Testing NextGEN Gallery Plugin by Adding a Whole Gallery to a Post

I tested NextGEN Gallery for adding individual photos to a post, but now want to see what a post looks like when you add an enite gallery. So, here are those Mariners game shots again.

Update 4:04 p.m.: Looks pretty good, now to see what it looks like in the feed.
Update 4:10 p.m.: Not good in the feed. The slideshow link takes you to some other feed on Feedburner and the photos link directly to there full version, not a gallery on your site with all the info/descriptions about them. Now I’m not sure if I’m going to use this or not.
Update 5:35 p.m.: I tried removing the Slideshow from the galleries and while that removed them from the site, the link still appears in the feed, which is where it doesn’t work. Looks like if I use a gallery in a post that I will have to cut it off in the feed and make the photos only viewable from the site. Also, came across a pretty good write up on how NextGEN Gallery works, even if it doesn’t help with my current problem.
Update 6:50 p.m.: Well, it looks like the Slideshow finally did get removed from the feed. But, still looks like I’m going to only display the photos on my site and not in the feed. Which isn’t that big of a deal cause some of the photos I will be using aren’t supposed to be only viewed on the site and not pushed to the end user anyway.

Testing Photo Insertion Using NextGEN Gallery Plugin

Last Saturday I went to a Mariners game at Safeco Field. It was a great night. The tickets were free. The rain stopped before the game started and they opened the roof. The game went 11 innings. Unfortunately, the Mariners lost. But, they pretty much suck this year and were playing the AL East leading Tampa Bay Rays. Entire Mariners vs. Rays gallery.

I used the NextGEN Gallery plugin for WordPress. I think I’m going to start using it at TVaholic.com.
