Topic: Wordpress plugin vs. baseURL method

I have played around with both methods and gotten them to work.  I need to start building galleries and am still unsure which is the better way to go.  Do you have any recommendations in terms of using Juicebox with WordPress - the plugin or the baseURL method?  What would you say are the pluses and minuses of each method.

Thanks!

Re: Wordpress plugin vs. baseURL method

It depends how you like to build your galleries.

Assuming you are running a wordpress site, using the wordpress plugin allows you to easily upload images and build galleries in the wordpress admin panel. This might be a better option if you are often adding new images to your galleries.

The other option is to build galleries locally using JuiceboxBuilder, then upload via FTP. The advantage of this method is quicker gallery creation locally, using presets and the ability to preview config updates live. The disadvantage is that you have to manually upload your gallery files and paste in the embed code.
