so how can wordpress win a CMS award if wordpress is NOT a CMS? lol
buddypress might be considered a CMS, but to me, a CMS is more like a portal, kinda like phpnuke or postnuke back in the day.. A CMS is usually a blog + forum + gallery all rolled into one site. buddypress might be considered a CMS I’ll give them that, but not wordpress

For gallery solution for WordPress I prefer WPML. Try it
Magic Gallery doesn’t work. It does not produce thumbnails. At least not with some WP installations. I wasted far too much time last night trying to get it to work. Others have brought this problem up with the developer and he is at a loss to figure out what it’s not working.
