GalleryShot SW is a WordPress plugin (sorry, no blogger version is available) which displays your sites recent images from posts. Each image is then linked to the post associated with it. When someone moves their cursor across an image, the title of the post is displayed and the image slightly increases–you can change this within the settings panel.
Screenshot
The settings actually allow you to change several aspects of GalleryShot SW. Here is a list of what can be changed within the settings panel.
- Number of images displayed.
- The image size.
- The image size on mouse over.
- The categories you wish to display the images from.
- Whether or not to display a link back to impNERD.
Of course, no sidebar plugin would be complete without it being widgetized. Within the widgets panel (Appearance/Widgets) you may easily add the plugin and set a title along with select whether or not to display a link to impNERD below the widget.
$2 or 2,000 EC credits.
GalleryShot SW has been tested in WordPress 2.6+
Why $2? For a few reasons: 1) Only people serious about using it will download it. 2) It will stay semi-unique. 3) Since it is relatively inexpensive, any updates to the plugin will not be free. I know, horrible, but it must be done.
Installation
1. Upload entire folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
2. Go to your plugins page and activate plugin.
3. Go to Settings/GalleryShot-SW and change your settings.
4. (optional) Add <?php if(function_exists(’gs_sw’)) { gs_sw(); } ?> to where you wish to display it.–no more than one will show and it must be outside the_loop in the template. It *may* work, but it isn’t recommended.
OR
5. (optional) Use the widget setting within design/widgets instead of editing your template. You can add a title from the widget options. The rest, change within the plugin settings.
Recommended size
The recommended size is 24 x 24, but other sizes work just as fine as long as the width and height are smaller than the size set for thumbnails.

This is a plugin that is long overdue. People have been having to do this the hard way for a long time. However, you need to know that putting dollars on it may keep it very limited in distribution, especially since this can be achieved (almost the same) for free with other plugins. I’m currently using Random Posts plugin by Rob Marsh with the same results, if a bit more limited in options. His Recent Posts, Similar Posts and Popular Posts plugins can be used the same way. He may or may not continue to support it – don’t know. But just thought you might want to know. In any case, great idea for a plugin. I can’t believe it hasn’t been done before now! If I had found this before I figured out how to do it with the other one, I would’ve bought it.
