Keymasterwell you could use a table, which is what most people seem to like these days.
Code:after you have coded the basic “layout” you can choose to add css to format your table.
some people do not like to use tables for non-tabular data, which this seems to be. i’ve seen people use Definition lists or Un/Ordered lists. here is one example i’ve just thrown together.
definition lists
Code:a seperate dl tag would need to be used for each row. you would have to format these using css as well. a better example: http://www.maxdesign.com.au/presentation/definition/dl-image-gallery.htm

Participantsimply add the tag target=”_blank” to the hyperlink code, or if you want all thumbnails to open in the same window instead of opening a new window every time you click a picture, add something like target=”bigpic” so you’d have
i’d also suggest checking out w3.org for more information on html tags if you’re curious or still learning.

MemberHi there, and Welcome to the BBB, Wesley 🙂
I applaud your using good ol’ genuine html – but I wonder have you considered these alternatives for publishing your photos:
- Use a “webpage creator” specially for photos/thumbnails. There are a number available, e.g. this one is free, and seems effective – http://jalbum.net/
- Use a customised online photo storage site – a downside is that the photos are not on “your own site”, but ongoing maintenance is vastly easier, and often there are many extra features that would be hard to build into your own site.
Here are two examples of such places I use, both free but both with extra features available for a cost (around US$30/year). FLICKR or WEBSHOTS
