I'm just wondering what the easiest way is to add a new gallery to an existing website gallery page.

For example, my main page shows 3 thumbnails so that when you click a thumbnail it launches the index.html page for that gallery, in this case a flash gallery that would be uploaded and created by Lightroom.

Now I have a 4th gallery I want to add to my main page. That would include addding the 4th thumbnail and the logic to fire off gallery 4.

How are other people doing this? My site (still in the prototyping stage) is very plain and simple and is created through notepad, not very high tech but I don't want to make this a difficult process or cost me money...

I would think if you're familiar with html enough that you've created your home page with notepad, that it would be about a minute's work to add the 4th thumbnail and link to that page? Seems very simple. Or are you saying the page needs to be redesigned because the 4th gallery cannot fit?

How are you uploading the files to your site? If you are using an FTP application, you can upload only the files you change. So if you want to add a 4th gallery, go ahead and do that and then save and republish.

Well, I'm interested in knowing how other people would handle a situation like this...yes, I can make the add by hand easily enough, but I'd like to automate this somehow if possible...

In my case I use JAlbum for my gallery at www.pixf.com (external link). So each time I do a shoot, I put the files in a folder, run JAlbum which makes all the new html, and then push it out to the web site. I don't do any hand-editing of my gallery.
