June 11, 2007 (Tech Ravings) Although this is a more tehnically advanced WordPress plug-in it’s also a fun one as well. This plug-in allows a WordPress blog owner to create categories of image types for use through a standard img tag. The images within the category will then be rotated through on each page view. In this fashion a simple image gallery can be created.

It all starts with adding a category. In doing so an image name is created and given back in the form of the category name. To use the set of images all that is needed is to use the category image name gif in the src of the img html tag. Every time a web page view calls this image from the bloggers server a catch page returns an image from the category set.

This plug-in comes complete with view statistics to see how many times the graphics category as a sum has been viewed. Each graphic indepedantly is also shown with a view count.
