Digital images and Web sites—it seems this should be so easy, yet it appears to be rather difficult.

Gallery 2.0, an open-source, Web-based photo album organizer, is fairly easy to use, although its interfaces may seem much different from those used by commercial online image “services.” Gallery may also ask you to download and install code, such as that for a Java tool.
