I am currently using the standard Wordpress gallery which I like because a lot of my visitors find me through Google after searching some text which is included in the image description. It obviously renders the gallery in such a way that the text is seen as quite prominent and a lot of my visitors enter through the gallery.
The problem is that the gallery only enables portrait orientation, whereas I need something that shows the images in landscape as well (to avoid the cropping at the edges).
I find that some galleries that allow both orientations struggle to place the images on the screen in such a way that they look good together. The best example of what I like is Flickr where the images are shown in a kind of tetris layout but obviously doesn't allow comments underneath them.
I am perfectly capable of hunting through the wordpress plugins for a nice looking gallery, but I am worried that I won't get something that is as good for SEO as my current gallery. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can achieve this?
