Gallaries let you make slide shows.
Two types of Gallaries are available.
- One pull the images from your uploads directory. We recommend putting them in /uploads/galleries and we recommend making a subfolder for each one -- it is easier to manage. What we really encourage is option 2.
- The other pulls images from Flickr (nanoGallery). This type of gallary is highly mobile friendly but it does require you to set up a Flickr site (free). Overall, we think this is less work than putting local galleries on your site
Using the gallery that stores the images within this site

- Not mobile friendly
- Less than easy to use
It takes three steps
- Upload your images -- we recommend making a subfolder under gallaries for each slide show
- Now go to the Galleries tab -- pick new gallery on the right and then follow the instructions
- Insert your gallery within your page(s) -- you can use a gallery on multiple pages and you can put multple galleries on one page -- copy the code that shows after the gallary is created into your page. It will look something like
