Answer 1

Assuming that your web server is capable of running php+mysql, I suggest that you go to www.sourceforge.net and search for "php mysql photo gallery". You'll find dozens of them. Look at the demos and see which ones suit your demands. Go for solutions that are mature and have high downloads/ratings.



I suggest two very powerful opensource gallery software for php/mysql:

Coppermine Photo Gallery

Not easy to understand but very, very powerful.

Answer 2

In what software you r developing?



In ASP.Net, create a datalist with hyperlinks and bound the imageurl and target url to the location where images are stored, fix the size of the hyperlink say height by 150 and width by 100



It will give you the thing you have asked for..

You can embed picasa web album into your website or blog. You can customize the style e.g size, thumbnails etc.

I use picasa web gallery in blog, you can view here : http://ipsa-net.blogspot.com



Alternatively you may use flickr photo stream function which is so uber cool.
