ck photo gallery pls

[Guest]

Hi guys, I'm the church volunteer lady who's putting our church web site
together and you've helped me in the past. I really appreciate the
nonjudgmental, straightforward, non-technical advice you've given me. Now
I'm working on the photo gallery. I've read all the posts and understand that
FP isn't the best choice here and that JAlbulm appears to be the most popular
alternative. I went to their site and was intimidated (remember - nontechie,
church volunteer) because it looks complicated and because it talks about FTP
which I understand I should stay away from in FP.

Take a look at our site for the current photo gallery and give me your
comments about what it looks like and what problems I might anticipate with
this approach. I've used insert component/photogallery and inserted three
photo galleries on one page, each a different category. The Photo page
consists of three shared borders, a 95% table for the text, with each photo
gallery inside it's own table set at 95%. I've set the vertical display for 2
pictures to fit without scrolling.

I believe I'll have to use separate pages for the individual photo galleries
as our collection of pix grows.

Do you see any problem with the nested tables issue?

How will the nesting work with slide slow presentation?

Can I insert videos on this same page using the
"insert/picture/movieinflashformat ?
If not, how can I best do that using FP software.

I really appreciate your help.

Here's the link to the photo page

and here's a link to the home page http://www.stpaul-florin.org/

TIA

Photo layout looks good and works okay for me with IE 6.0. Don't see any
problems.

Don't sweat the FTP, just use Jalbum to create the photo gallery and close
the program.
then open FrontPage and hit file/ import/ folder and import the folder
Jalbum outputted for you.
Now when you want a link to the gallery just hyperlink to the index page in
that newly imported folder.

HTH

PS there's also a fairly nice gallery creating feature in "picasa" which is
a free and easy to use image editing program from google.
