I need serious PS Help

[Harry Settle]

I am using CS2 and trying to add a gallery to my current website, using Frontpage 2003, and PS is kicking my ass to the point that I'm not even thinking rationaly anymore.

Does anyone know where I can find a decent tutorial on how to get this done. I know that it must be easier than I'm making it.

There are a bunch of free tools that generate web sites for you. Have you looked into that?

I picked up JAlbum and it looks pretty easy. The basic problem I am having is after I create a gallery, getting it into my current web site and running.

Last night I made a test gallery in PS put it in my web files and published it. I got a basic gallery online ok, but, although I had a full menu of thumbnails, only one of them would open.

It is most likely a problem with relative verses local links.
Got a link you can post?
It would be much easier to help you out that way.

I deleted the whole project and plan on trying again maybe tomorrow when my brain is refreshed. I will describe the general outline of what I did though:

I created a folder in my frontpage files called pg and moved the whole ps gallery that I created into it

When that didn't seem to produce any results, I moved the .htm file from the pg folder down into the rest of my .htm files.

I didn't link to my main index file as I don't want anyone to access it yet.

This worked and gave me an accessable photogallery online, except that only the top picture in thumbnails was accessable. I'm not sure if I need to move my reference files down into the lower section of my site files or not.

I have to video a wedding today and won't have time to play with it for a while, I'll try and have a link up tomorrow sometime.

I'm sure that it's something relatively easy that I'm missing.

I've used the gallery tool in PS CS2 and it seems to work well, even the flash versions. I have no experience with FrontPage but I would think you just have to link to the PS generated gallery.

I got it working today, very easy, just need to refine sizes and styles now.

Created the gallery to my hard drive
copied the folder to my frontpage files
changed the name of the index.htm file to gallery_1
dragged the new gallery_1 file to the navigation pane
published

Test gallery:

Glad you got it working...
