This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
A gallery is a deliberately curated set of photos, that may itself be a post, or an archive view, or potentially dynamically created via tags.
Layout
Gallery layouts are usually organized in some sort of grid fashion.

Platform Examples
Projects and other software platforms that have a notion / feature support of "gallery".
WordPress
WordPress software offers two image related post formats.
- image - A single image. The first
tag in the post could be considered the image. Alternatively, if the post consists only of a URL, that will be the image URL and the title of the post (post_title) will be the title attribute for the image.
- gallery - A gallery of images. Post will likely contain a gallery shortcode and will have image attachments.

Flickr
Flickr confusingly has several different kinds of galleries each with their own quirky limitations:
- Set (also called Album in the UI) - a curation of your own photos
- Gallery - a curation of other people's photos
- They have a "special" Galllery called Favorites now (with 2014 UI update), whereas Favorites used to be a completely separate thing.
- Photo Book - ??? something new
