How do you make a scrolling photogallery where the client can upload pictures with ease?

I'm making a website for a friend, and he wants a scrolling gallery, but wants to have control of what's displayed. Is there a way to make that gallery display whatever photos he uploads to an external source, say for example: into photobucket? Can the image gallery draw from a place like photobucket or would have I have to add those into the coding myself?

Definitely. In fact, a lot of photo hosting websites provide pre-built slideshows that you can embed. Here's more on Photobucket's. And here's information on Flickr.

If you're looking for a more custom option, sometimes these services offer APIs or, I suppose, you could also manually add image URLs to the HTML to manipulate with your JS.
