 * Okay – I’m a total WP newbie but I can’t get this installed. I believe that I
   followed the directions, but when I go to my plug-in menu I do not see it there.
   What am I doing wrong?

 * Plus – I only uploaded what was explicitly laid out in the directions. After 
   downloading the JW image loader folder I noticed that there were several other
   files however, because there was no direction to do so (or direction on where
   to put them) I did not include these files.

 * I had the same problem too but I managed to figure out what I was doing wrong.
   This is what I did to make it work
 * Extract the files from (nextgen-gallery.0.96) and create the nggallery folder
   in wp-content/plugins/.
 * Open the nextgen-gallery folder and upload all the content including the imagerotator.
   swf file to wp-content/plugins/nggallery/.
 * I’m assuming that you would have downloaded and extracted the imagerotator-3-
   16(imagerotator.swf) file.
 * Upload the imagerotator.swf file to wp-content/plugins/nggallery/ to overwrite
   the one thats there. After doing so the plugins should show up in my plug-in 
   menu.
 * Enjoy

 * Thanks for responding! I’m still not showing anything when I click on plugins–
   I’m going to delete it all and start over.
