I've noticed that a lot of you have some very nice galleries... Can any of you point me in the right direction where there is a tutorial on how to make a web page gallery?? Right now I'm using one of those pictures places to show my works and I really want to make a web page with my pictures in it, like a lot of you have done... Any info appreciated... Thanks...

Hi Travidoro, Holli's right--- what you want is to make thumbnails, which are hyperlinked to larger images-- at least that's what I'm assuming you want. What you really ought to do is to search for HTML tutorials--- website construction tutorials. Otherwise, it's simply a matter of creating your html tags, "attaching" pictures to the html document, formatting them in terms of size and placement, selecting background, etc.,etc... That's all all the galleries I've ever seen are-- html pages in verious forms, sizes, and themes. There is a forum here called HTML and Web Scripting, if you look under Topic Forums on the right in the menu. Go to that forum and ask where you can find tutorials for web page construction, and I'm sure you can find what you are looking for. :)

In fact, I'm moving this thread there myself. Just because I can. ;)

If what you're wanting is a static gallery, that you will edit only by hand, then plain HTML will work fine for you. There is plenty on info out there on setting up thumbs linked to larger images, with a table layout, and so forth. But, it you're looking for a dynamic gallery, similar to the one here on Renderosity, you're going to need access to a server-side scripting language of some kind and a database.

Thanks for all your replies... No, basically I want a static gallery, and I've done a lot of research out there on html tutorials for galleries and nothing comes up, so I figured, since folks here are already there, maybe they learned it from somewhere... I'll study other people's galleries source and see what I learn there... thanks...

Hi Paul, I'll add only one item because no one mentioned it yet, but before you can create your web gallery, you need to have FTP access to some server space designated for you. There are a bunch of places around the web that offer such space for free, or you can register your own domain and host your gallery on your own space that way. If you're interested in the free space, do a search for "free web page" and you'll find places like... www.nbci.com www.fortunecity.com www.geocities.com ...and a whole bunch more. If you're interested in locating a host for your own domain, check out www.hostindex.com and their database will help you search for the specific features you'd like. (Some of these offer their services for free, but most have a monthly or yearly fee.) And, of course, if you already knew about this part of it, just ignore this post! :) Varian

Hey, Varian, thanks for the info... I knew about some, but I didn't know about hostindex, so that helps...
