Also, some of the photos are very hi-res which probably would not really be needed on an online gallery - saving down to a reasonable 1024x768 size drops the filesize down to 10%.With that in mind you wouldn't need to worry about the quota until you hit 80 sets or so (depending on how much you post in the rest of the blog). <br /> <br /> Obviously tho it will depend on your plans for the images.

Despite its shortcoming, and my rant above, I still think its the best out there and a truly great site/application. <br /> <br /> The biggest concern for me is the storage space. I have about 500Mb of hosting space, and a self-hosted gallery would eat into that in no time Doubling that to 1Gb would cost me an extra &#163;20 a year, so FlickR's &#163;15 a year starts to look reasonable - especially considering I'm essentially buying use of their software too.<br /> <br /> I plan to do some work with the FlickR API in the near future, to see how well I can get it to integrate with my B2Evo setup... so based on that outcome, I'll decide if I'm buying into it or not.

I read that there is a Gallery plugin for b2evo in the works but might be a while before it turns into a useable replacement. <br /> <br /> You could always try a seperate standalone package and run it beside b2evo on this hosting account?
