Goodbye FooGallery. Hello CSS gallery.

It’s time to say goodbye FooGallery.

We know it’s a little back and to back to be talking about this plugin again after we just simply turned off the Videos in our previous blog.

But that unfortunately will not be tested until we get another incident that shits out the entire world economy or shipping industry.

This article is going to focus a lot more on the video editing side of the ARC as it seems to shine better than the gaming side of things.
