How to Add a Photo Gallery in Tumblr

If you've just gone on a trip or have gone to an event and you've taken a load of photos, you may want to share them on your Tumblr account. While you could paste the photos one by one onto your blog, this is tedious and often doesn't produce the look or feel you want your blog to achieve. Instead of dumping your photos on your page, you can make a photo gallery and share your special moments in a more organized form.
