Dead Simple Gallery is for people who want to easily display some images on their website, without the need of manually creating thumbnails and/or previews.
You don't need extensive PHP knowledge to use it, just being able to copy/paste some simple PHP code for configuration (similar to what Javascript plugins use) will be enough.
