UPDATE: For Wordpress Users, there has been a plugin released: WP-Simpleviewer

After spending nearly 10 hours attempting to figure out how to integrate the fantastic Simpleviewer photo gallery into my blog posts….I finally figured out a painless and insanely easy way to do it. So for my first ever official post, I’m going to give you a quick run through.

Things you need:
1. Simpleviewer 1.8
2. Photos
3. Picasa(optional)Easy way to create a gallery

From Airtight Interactive FAQ #25 Link

25: Can I add a SimpleViewer gallery to a MySpace page?

Yes. Click here for an example. To add a gallery to a MySpace page, do the following:

1. First, you will need to host your gallery files (including images) on a webserver somewhere (in this example:
http://www.mywebsite/mygallery/).
2. In your gallery.xml file, specify absolute URLs to your image and thumbnails folders. For example:

imagePath=”http://www.mywebsite/mygallery/images/”
thumbPath=”http://www.mywebsite/mygallery/thumbs/”

3. Add the following code to your myspace page. Enter the URLS to your viewer.swf and gallery.xml files:
<br />
<embed src="http://www.mywebsite/mygallery/viewer.swf"<br />
FlashVars="xmlDataPath=http://www.mywebsite/mygallery/gallery.xml"<br />
bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH=420 HEIGHT=520<br />
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><br />

You may also use the <iframe> tag. That works for virtually everything. Unless it didn’t work with previous versions of Wordpress, I would think this would be the easiest way. So, here’s my code:
</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.listikal.com/wp-content/galleries/simpleviewer/" width="475" height="750" FRAMEBORDER=0></iframe>
