Ideally it would be just a short script I can copy into my own html file; many of the ones I've found have their own templates with skins (ewwee).

If none of these are what you want, you could do what I do.

Oh! I'm sorry, today appears to be 'one of those days' *blushes*<br /><br />Glad you got it working. =)<!--content-->
Thanks for the links to Airtight Lisa. I don't normally like flash much but that is a good gallery script.<!--content-->
It's not free, but a friend of mine I host uses Arles (<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->http://www.digitaldutch.com/arles/<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> - $49 single user cost) if you want what appears to be a pretty user friendly program to create image galleries.<!--content-->
