I’m parring things down on my blog for a bit. I’m returning to the default theme and removing/deactivating (most of) the plug-ins. I’m going to take a look at WP 2.5 soon, and I want to have a bare-bones(ish) site to install it to. Once the upgrade is complete, I’ll take a look at what my choices are like plug-in wise.
I’d recommend WPG2, so far it has been useful and the developers are very responsive and active in support. My only complaint so far is that the other plugin they recommend to auto-manage roles isn’t working, so auto assigning new users to also be gallery users doesn’t work yet.
