 WELCOME;

 I'm glad you have downloaded my Gallery Plugin,
  and i'm sure it's a first of many to come.

 I've always wanted to add a Gallery to my posts,
  and it was really a area that b2evo was falling
  behind in.

 Hopefully this Plugin will bring b2evo back up to
  the level of it's competitors in terms of photo
  blogs.

 And I hope you like this plugin, and feel free to
  send me your comments / criticisms / rants / and 
  whatever else you want to go on about.
