Using the Photo Gallery

The simultaneous expansion of digital camera usage and Broadband services

has created a fantastic opportunity for the publishing your photo collections on

Web pages. There are a multitude of reasons for doing so but some common

ones include:

• Hosting family photos for access by distant relatives

• Special occasions (parties, Christmas, holidays)

• Cataloguing collections (e.g., of animals)

A great Photo Gallery feature is the ability to adopt different gallery types—

choose Thumbnail Grid, Thumbnail Strips/Bars or even Full Images with

theme navigation arrows. The example below shows the "Thumbnail Strip

(Top)" type which is ideal for viewing and navigating images quickly.

Thumbnail Strips and Bars offer theme navigation arrows whereas Thumbnail

Grids display full-size images on thumbnail click.
