Digikam works well for me.

It's easy to tag and comment on photos for organizing them; also to export in 
various formats including HTML to make a web site or store on a CD or DVD.

Some features are...
- Organization of Photos in Albums and sub-Albums 
-  Comments can be added to Albums and individual photos
- Tags can be added to Albums and individual photos
Albums   
- Tags, Rating, Date and Time, Comments, Photographers ID, and Copyrights are 
stored in EXIF and/or IPTC metadata tags embedded in pictures. Comments are 
also stored in JPEG files to JFIF section.
