Well, since somebody mentioned dot-net, I think I'm entitled to say
that Apple's iWeb does the above ;-)
Personally, though, I use gallery2 for most purposes. It has a Java
app that you can use to upload hundreds of images at once. Well, as
"at once" as your upload bandwidth allows.
The setup is really simple. A lot of open-source apps nowadays come
with "installers" that ask you about the database etc. Gallery2 does
that, too.
I don't see why anybody on this mailing-list should be incapable of
mastering this task.
You just upload the unpacked gallery2 directory to your webspace,
create a db and a corresponding user with phpmyadmin and enter those
details into gallery2's installer.
