Hiya Karthik, thx for adding me to your list (or are you after a I love Karthik vote?)

My root gallery isn't so original, just copied the instructions arjunrc with small modifications and.... I'm more surprised than anyone else that it works...

I really admire everyone else's customized homepage and wish that one day I could fix mine too but then it's more fun to take pictures instead...

Thanks to Zevs and Luis for the inspiration.
Three cheers for open source code !!!

I estimate about 16hours work from a zero base line experience in html and css. It wasn't what I would call fun.

All advice welcomed.

I think I'm finally satisfied with my root page. I've made some changes to get it to fit the screen without scrolling, unless your screen resolution is set really low. Thanks to all those who have offered assistance.

I've also changed my style sheets on the other galleries and I'm still tweaking them and reorganizing the tree structure to make the site easier to navigate. I have deleted over 20 galleries, and I'm still going through and deleting or updating photos. My goal is to get rid of the older photos that I am no longer happy with and end up with an easily navigated site that has photos I'm proud to display. It seems that as our skills improve, we look back at older photos and realize we could have done better with post processing. I've redone a few of them, but it's a daunting task to go through all of them. In time, I hope to either fix or delete any photos I'm not happy with.

I would really be interested to know if anyone has ideas on how to dress up the PROFILE page. I think the format is very boring, and it woudl be nice to dress it up a bit, if that's possible.

I need help. You can check out my site @ http://www.pbase.com/geoff786
I am having issues with two things.

1. the header. It is linked but will not show on the main page. http://www.pbase.com/geoff786/image/64638111
2. the slide show. Again I have linked two photos within the galleries but they are no shows on the main.


It has to be somthing simple. Can you help me out ?

Hi Geoff,
about the slide show I think you forget to put dimension and file extension at the end of images shown.

Code should be as follows:

var imageFiles=
"http://www.pbase.com/geoff786/image/54892782/medium.jpg;"+
"http://www.pbase.com/geoff786/image/54892783/medium.jpg;"+
function blendimage(divid, imageid)

Try to copy and paste it in your HTML code instead of

var imageFiles=
"http://www.pbase.com/geoff786/image/54892782;"+
"http://www.pbase.com/geoff786/image/54892783;"+
function blendimage(divid, imageid)

I cannot test it now, try yourself if it fix problem 2

Cheers

Thanks Massimilano, so far so good! That worked I need to resize the photo I think ? The "frame is bigger then the photo. Is this correct ?

Hi Geoff,
of course you must resize the images to the frame or, better, the frame to the images.
If you have checked my root gallery you see the slideshow frame is medium size, its dimensions are width=400 height=267 (exactly medium size of the images on pbase)
If your frame is w=600 h=400 you must resize images to such dimensions.

But my root gallery is my own project and I didn't use Luis script
