I have been brainstorming on the best solution for updating and designing a portfolio part of a site. The basic requirements are just thumbnails and categories, but they would need to be easily updates. Would this have to be done in some kind of php? I would do a flash gallery, but I dont know how hard it would be to keep adding new work. Any ideas or resources?
Got a tip for us?

Depends on your setup. PHP definitely has some power, such as simply adding images to a folder and PHP automatically has them as apart of the gallery. Updating HTML isn't hard either, especially if you have one gallery piece templated. I personally do my art gallery with XML. I throw in an image and make another XML entry to my file.
If you want to go the Flash gallery route SlideShowPro is a great solution. The accompanying Director is great for managing the gallery:
