CREATE GALLERY WITHOUT PLUGIN

Gallery is a great way to showcase your beautiful works. We often use plugin for this purpose but do you know WordPress has a built-in gallery as well? It allows you to locate where the images will be linked and control how many columns in a row. You could also determine the size of the photos as well. Intrigued? Keep reading.
