Create an Image Gallery Web Page

There are many options for publishing an Image Gallery Web page to the Internet. A good place to look for help is the www.HTMLGoodies.com main site. Additionally, here is a link to an informative article entitled Where do I put my Website?

Use the Create a Web Page feature to create an HTML thumbnail sheet that links to full sized images. This is a quick way to display digital photographs, screen captures, artwork, and other graphics.

There are seven different types or themes of Web pages to choose from. Each theme is fully customizable and allows you to change the background, font colors, size of the thumbnails, transition effects, and much more.

The Gallery Web Page creation process uses the Create Web Page Wizard.

To open the Gallery Web Page Wizard:

In Editor > Library view > Right-click thumbnail > Create Web Page.

The Create Web Page Wizard screen appears. Follow the instructions on each dialog box.
