Wordpress Catagory Galleries? - GoFuckYourself.com

I would like to find something that would create a gallery of image content for a whole category and not just allow the user to find posts relating to a subject.

Has anyone ever heard of something like this?

That sounds neat really. I'd use it.

I don't use plugins, so I can't make it THAT easy for you, but...

I do use a post thumbnail, which I call in sidebars, etc. by itself (without the post), as an easy visual browsing metaphor. Instead of the 1x10 thumb leftbar column I prefer, it's easy enough to make any size thumb page (it could look like a TGP) based on category (ot tags).

Because it's a custom loop, you can point the URL anywhere, so instead of the thumb linking to the post, it links to a larger image (perhaps on a page with a link to the post underneath)

It's a neat idea

Something I might start playing with
