Creating A Photo Gallery the Easy Way!

When it comes to creating a photo gallery you may need HTML, but if you know the Yahoo store well enough, you can find other ways to do it.

First, you need to have a photo gallery page. If you don’t ready have the page created, you’ll want to take minute to do that.

Next, you’ll create a page for each image you want in the gallery, the same way you create any other page. Use the item type, and populate only the Name and Image. (Caption can also be used to include a caption for the image.)

Then, link to that new page you’ve created from the photo gallery page.

Customizing the appearance can be done by overriding variables. For example you can make the images on the image page or you can make the images larger on the photo gallery page, and you can even change the number of columns to allow for the larger images.

Just by knowing some of the basic functionality of the store you’re able to take this theory and massage it into something that works for your store. Our friends at the Luzerne County SPCA use this exact tactic while populating their SPCA Photos page. However, Green Start Baby Art took it to another level with there gallery of Girls Wall Stickers by letting each image link to an item to buy.

Besides using a gallery like this to showing off your products or events, a gallery page can be used to show off your customers too. The folks at Fun Dog Fred cleverly use a gallery page to show off customers appropriately labelled Friends of Fred.
