Instantly replace your standard WordPress [gallery] with JonDesign's SmoothGallery.

== Description ==
Smooth Gallery Replacement will replace your standard WordPress galleries (using the gallery-shortcode) with JonDesign's [SmoothGallery](http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/showcase/gallery/). 

There are two other plugins for running SmoothGallery in Wordpress: "SmoothGallery", which requires manual markup to be added to your posts. And "NextGEN Smooth Gallery", which requires you to use the NextGEN Gallery plugin. 

This plugin is a self contained drop-in that requires no effort from you and no changes to your blog. It degrades gracefully for non-JavaScript browsers and removing the plugin leaves your galleries working just like they did before.

**Be warned:** SmoothGallery is built on [MooTools](http://mootools.net/) and will not work if you run [Scriptaculous](http://script.aculo.us/) on your blog.

**Changelog 1.0 (2009-03-17)**

1. Release

== Installation ==

1. Unzip to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Configure the gallery in `Settings -> Smooth Gallery R.`

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= IT DOESN'T WORK! =
[SmoothGallery](http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/) is built on the [MooTools JavaScript framework](http://mootools.net/), which is incompatible with the [Scriptaculous library](http://script.aculo.us/) bundled with WordPress. If you're currently using Scriptacolous, this plugin will not be of any joy for you.
