   I’m sure there’s a joke about false pearls… Good news about the internet access – you’ll be able to get some proper work done now. As for the photos; that’s the NextGEN Gallery plugin which you already have in your blog, you just need to activate it. What I do is resize & rename a group of photos using Irfanview in batch mode. I set all the photos to be a max dimension of 800 pixels and save with ~85% compression as jpegs. This means the max size of a photo is about 100k. This way they upload fairly fast and are easily viewable on-screen. Then upload into a new NextGen Gallery. Add some tags and descriptions if appropriate. The gallery is then added to the post or page using a simple tag from the toolbar icon. The bottom one shows as: [slideshow id=22] If I wanted a thumnail picture list I’d use: [nggallery id=22] It’s quite neat once you get the hang of it. The interface and usability has improved a lot over the past year. Like or Dislike: 0  0 Reply
