UPDATE: I’ve written a new plugin that will eventually phase this one out completely. It has all of the same functionality with a couple of extras including support for post attachment’s. Check it out here: <a href="http://lauragentry.com/2011/04/15/wordpress-plugin-xml-ify-wordpress-multiple-posts/" rel="nofollow ugc">XML-ify WordPress Multiple Posts</a>.
<h3>Issues</h3>
1) The XML declaration is hard-coded to be: ?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″? ? I don?t have any plans to change that unless I get requests for other declarations.
2) You can name most XML elements however you see fit, but right now the parent element is hard-coded to ?images? and each blog post parent element is hard-coded to ?pic.? I?m hoping to make that customizable in the future.
3) If excerpt field is selected to show but is not populated, the caption pulls from the blog post. This is actually the way WordPress core is supposed to work, but not entirely ideal.

Photo Gallery XML Export

The plugin generates an XML feed from your Wordpress posts using the excerpt field, permalink and five custom fields of your choosing.

The Flash Gallery plugin lets you turn your ordinary galleries into awesome image walls, with support for multiple albums per post, full screen viewing and slideshows.
It is especially usefull for when you have lots of images in a post, or want to present images sorted into separate albums. 
Here’s <a href="http://game.hgo.se/blog/gotland-game-awards-2010/" rel="nofollow ugc">an example with 175 images</a>.
I use the Flash Gallery primarily to controll the height of my posts. Whenever there would be more than 4 rows of thumbnails I replace the ordinary <code>[gallery]</code> with a <code>[flashgallery]</code>. You can <a href="http://game.hgo.se/cat/projects/" rel="nofollow ugc">browse through the archives here</a> to see how that works.
