Another nod for Flickr here. The tools make uploading and adding meta to a big bunch of photos really easy. Uploading and tagging through the webste is also fine for a few photos here and there, the AJAX voodoo they use is pretty cool in places.

On Sunday I impulse bought a pro account and uploaded some photos I took that weekend. It really did just take a few minutes.

Gallery is all well and good when you have your own webserver and bandwidth to use, and the time to get all that up and running.

I actually have a Perl script that I wrote which creates some simple click-through thumbnail gallery pages for the photos on my website. It works pretty well, but I've started using Flickr now because it is just drag-and-drop, and easy to keep things organised.

If you've got a static web server, then there are tons of tools to generate pretty pages for you to upload. Picasa does a reasonable job, as does the Web Gallery feature in Photoshop CS and later. I'm using Web Gallery with hand-written templates that force Photoshop to generate HTML that uses my own CSS style sheet.

I use Jalbum http://jalbum.net/ on my provider's webspace.
Works pretty easy, and can do uploads of only the new stuff automagicly.
