This is what I get for brutally tearing down my site, having to rebuild an entire gallery. A pleasant surprise this time around however was the new gallery function introduced with WordPress 2.5

The gallery is currently 100% plugin-independent which is always a good thing. I also have a lot more control over it now since it’s all built manually with pages.
But I couldn’t find any guides on how to do it so I’m thinking maybe I should write a little guide on how I did it in case anyone would like to try it out for themselves(?)
