It's been up a few weeks. Matt a forum member was kind enough to spend a few hours to help me get it off the ground then I went with it from there. So don't blame Matt for the bad stuff.

I still have some things I want to add and of course I'll be constantly rotating things out to bring in something new. Thanks for looking!

Some of the text on the "About Me" page could use some editing...

also, you don't have an image number form for 20x30 shots.

Thanks for the feedback. Daniel I guess your going to have to point it out to me what your seeing. I'm too dumb to see it.

Is there any way to make the first gallery image NON clickable?

My first reaction was to click it and it just opens a new page to display the image.

i like the site tho! clean and simple!

There probably is but I don't know how. I'll probably wind up making it clickable and go to another gallery. Someone told me people like to click on stuff so it must be true. I've got several photos that you can click on that opens another gallery and still a few more I want to do that with. Thanks, Roy

Thank you Linda.

David, unfortunately, I don't know of a way to view the show without active X installed.
The only way I know you can view it would be when the slide show is burned to a CD or DVD. I do wish it would work without that because there are lots of work places people can't down load the file to get it to work much less prefer not to.

Roy,

How do you get your thumbnails that size in Simpleviewer? I checked my php file and didn't find a spot to change that.

Erica,

I don't think it's in a php file in my case because I don't have one. I'm not sure I did anything special other than changing the rows and columns and that was a line in the gallery.xml. If there's a way to change the size, I'll have to see if I can find it.

I'm using Picasa2 and export to HTML to create the Simpleviewer files. Would that make any difference?

I think perhaps its the overall size of your max image file. Mine is 700, but I"ve only uploaded 500 height max. I *think* if i went larger, the thumbs could be larger. I don't see any other way its affected. Yours is the first gallery I've seen where the thumbs are bigger.

perhaps its something in your html file?
