How can I make a web gallery that can show visitors what the url is to the specific image they are looking at.

I have a few hundred avatars that I have made for a message board I belong to. I am looking for a way I can put them online to share, but i need each image to show the url in the page so that users can easily copy it for embedding. These are just simple 100px X 100px images.

I have a server I can put the galleries/gallery software on, or I dont mind using a photo sharing site in itself like flickr or picassa. Unfortunately no local OSX gallery makers seem to offer the option to show the image url next to the image itself, nor do online photo sharing sites. (photobucket comes close but is way to busy and crazy looking for visitors to go to)

I also need to be able to easily ad new images to an existing set and then order them as I want.

Thank You for any help advice offered.

Response by poster: As a for instance, A line below an image that said "the url for this image is www.example.com/ttt.jpg" would be great. Would there be a line of code I could put on a page with an image that would automatically reflect the url he image was on?

What about Gallery? I haven't used it myself but it sounds like it might do what you want. Another way that is probably way too tedious but would probably work is to use Mediawiki. You can place code for each individual icon. It would get the job done.

Response by poster: Yeah I looked at Gallery but I don't see an option to show the URL of the image. I would install it if that is something you can do however.

Response by poster: Actually I notice our board uses bbcode, so I guess the optimal solution would be a gallery that allows me to palce under each picture the proper ubb code with the image url in it, so that visitors could just copy and paste it.
