 * I found this nifty little plugin that addresses the issue: WordPress 2.7 places
   CSS for shortcode gallery inside the body html
 * i have also used the following in my **functions.php** my template file, so I
   don’t always have to insert [gallery] in every post i make that have uploaded
   photos. I’m lazy, what can I say.
 *     ```
       *** Quotes are messed up, remember to properly replace them in this Sample
   
       add_filter('the_content', 'insertGallery');
       function insertGallery($content) {
       	global $post;
       	return $content.do_shortcode('[gallery id="'.$post->ID.'" size="thumbnail" columns="3"]');
       }
       ```
   
 * Also…
    I have used, do_shortcode function in a **image.php** Template file. Basically
   it’s the [gallery] shortcode with the right ID. Please note, that if you use 
   it in a template file, the Gallery CSS won’t spit out at all. So they won’t be
   styled. I modified the plugin above to do so. Or you can just edit your own CSS
   sheet.
 *     ```
       *** Quotes are messed up, remember to properly replace them in this Sample
   
       echo do_shortcode('[gallery id="'.$post->post_parent.'" size="thumbnail" columns="4"]');
       ```
   
 * Also vote, if this issue is important to you…
