NoobSlide is one of the most versatile, efficient, and compelling Javascript galleries I have seen. Many thanks to its creators for making something so awesome!
NoobSlide is now part of the Shiba Gallery Plugin so that you may insert its galleries into your blog with a simple WordPress gallery shortcode.
