Gallery customization tutorial sites

JoEllen Drazan has created an excellent visual tutorial for customizing Gallery. On her site she provides easy, visual instructions to show you how to go from a stock Gallery install to a thing of beauty like her Lord of the Rings Fan Site. If you're considering modifying your Gallery, you should check out what she's got!

PixelPoet has also created an excellent tutorial for customizing Gallery that demonstrates (among other things) how to put a right or left menu on any Gallery page. You should check out her work also!

And while we're at it, let's not overlook the tremendous job that Kommercial has done in creating and maintaining the Customizing and Hacks section of the Gallery User Guide! He has been working tirelessly to pull great hacks and mods out of the forums and make them readily available in the User Guide for everybody. Thanks, Kommercial!

Very nicely done. I've had a tutorial on my website for several months now that explains how to use the wrapper.header and wrapper.footer to customize your Gallery to look like the rest of your website if using Gallery as a standalone application. It explains how to achieve a right or left (or right and left) menu that shows up on every Gallery page. Judging by the email I've received the tutorial has been most helpful - might be useful in addition to JoEllen's information. You can find it on my site, specifically at: <a href="http://www.eclecticpixels.com/tutorials/gallerytips/">Gallery Tips</a>

Ahem. Please forgive me -- I totally forgot that you also had a great tips site. As penance, I've added info about your site to the original story!!<br />
<br />

Hi bharat...penance wasn't necessary! I just thought I'd make the link available where people were most likely to see it, since I get an awful lot of email asking me all the time "how'd you do that??" The tutorial saves me from cutting and pasting my emails over and over!<br />
<br />
But thanks for the mention - explains where all the hits to my site are coming from. My tutorial is more popular than my photos today!

Well, i just want to say that the Lord of the Rings Fan Site looks *GREAT*: I'm impressed!<br />
Besides that it's nice that the information about how to do it is shared.

have a nice ...
