Hi James,
Išve been using the FAlbum plugin for WordPress for nearly 2 years on the
Wessex Archaeology website ( http://news.wessexarch.co.uk/gallery/ ). Itšs
quite robust, and copes with many thousands of visits each month. It didnšt
take long to modify the template so that it fitted in with the unified look
of our main website. You could remove parts of WordPress, and simply use it
as a base for an FAlbum installation.
I have played about with Cruiser - http://getcruiser.com/about/ - which uses
the PHPflickr class, and is completely standalone. Although I havenšt used
it in a production environment.
Cheers,
Tom
