What is the easiest way to put a photo gallery into an existing website?

I am ready to give up.  This really can't be this difficult. 
Either that or I am the dumbest person in the world.  Up until now, I didn't know that I was. 
I just want something easy.
I am designing a website using Dreamweaver Cs5.5.  I am on a PC with Windows Vista Operating System.
I have an existing website www.metzartonline.com. 
On the Gallery page, I want to include a simple photo gallery where I can showcase paintings.  I would like a simple (theres that word again) grid that shows the photos as thumbnails.  When you click on the thumbnail, it shows the image in a larger size with a small caption.
I've tried using Bridge which was very easy to set up but I'm at a loss on how to integrate that into the webpage.  After lots of research, I've come to the conclusion that integrating that into an existing website just insn't that easy to do.
I purchased the Classic Photo Gallery from Flash Development 24 because it was described as "easy to use."
It is not easy to use.
The steb by step guide for one, isn't even written in proper English.  I've tried to work with it an I've emailed support several times.
I'm ready to give that up.
I just want to make a simple gallery that I can integrate into an existing website.
Can anyone suggest the easiest program to use?
Please?

You can use Adobe Bridge (it is built into Dreamweaver) and Adobe Fireworks.  Once you have Dreamweaver open, go to File and you will see "Browse in Bridge".  Adobe Fireworks is a separate program and must be installed to make this work.  The instructions below are step by step and I was able to follow them even though I am not overly experienced in Dreamweaver.  I created these with Dreamweaver CS4 but the instructions below should work for CS5 as well.
The first address here is to create a photo gallery with the Adobe Output Module which you open in Bridge.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WSCF044571-2772-4d28-9EBD-2C9F46AF008A.html
The second address explains how to incorporate the gallery into a Dreamweaver page.
http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/gallery/embed1.php
Here is my wife's website for her art:   www.tanglewoodbrushstrokes.com
You may want to look at the galleries there first to see if they are what you are looking for. 
There are two disadvantages to these galleries.  One is that to add or subract images requires creating a new gallery.  The good side is that this can be done fairly quickly once you become accustomed to how they are created.  I can do a new one now in a half hour or less.  To make it easier, you can go to split screen once you have the new gallery made and substitute the html for the new gallery in place of the old one without recreating your page parameters for the gallery.
Secondly, the galleries created in Fireworks use flash technology so they will not work on Iphones or Ipads.  To correct this on my wife's website, I upgraded to CS5.5 in order to use HTML5.  I am going through the tutorials for creating HTML5 web pages now.  Once I have completed them, I will be re-doing my wife's site.  I haven't yet figured out how I will create and install the galleries yet.  I have posed a question about albums for HTML5 on this forum.  Using HTML5 appears to be more complex than what I have experienced in the past, but we will see.
Hope this helps.  Don't get too frustrated when you go through the tutorials above.  Take your time and you will be able to figure it out.  If I could do it, so can you.  I am a 65 year old retiree who only began working with Dreamweaver about three years ago.  My work experience was not in the computer field although we bought our first computer, an Apple IIE, in 1980.

  • What is the easiest way to copy individual photos from a pc to ipad?

    what is the easiest way to copy individual photos from a pc to ipadair 2?  I have been told that transferring via itunes creates one mass file from which individual photos cannot be manipulated.

    Photos synced from iTunes cannot be deleted one at a time if that's what you mean. They can be manipulated, if manipulated means editing or moving them into folders that you create on the iPad in the photos app.
    I agree with Procyon256 that emailing is probably the easiest way for one at a time, but there are also WiFi transfer apps that are pretty nice for this purpose, I use this one.

    Hi,
    I want to create a photo gallery in Dreamweaver without using any pre-built "web gallery" function. What's the best way to swap the images when I click the "next" button? Do I create a new Dreamweaver page for each photograph? Is there a more efficient way to do it than that?
    Thanks,
    Gordon

  • I saved my IE favorites from my work computer on a cd-r and want to transfer them to my new Win7 home computer. I have thousands of them in hundreds of folders. What is the easiest way to put them into my new computer? I am using FF 6. Thanks.

    I am using FF6.

    Photos taken by and saved to the iPod are included in the backup that iTunes makes evetime you sync or if do a manual or iCloud backup.
    Per the following the backup includes:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    Camera Roll (Photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken. Videos greater than 2 GB are backed up with iOS 4.0 and later.)
    Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
    Thus if you backed up after the photos were taken yuo can restore an iDevice from that backup

  • What is the best way to put LabVIEW DSC data into an Oracle database?

    I have been collecting data using LabVIEW DSC 7.0 for several years and have always accessed the data from the Citadel database via the Historical Data Viewer.  I would now like to begin putting this data into an Oracle database.  My company stores all their data in Oracle and it would provide me all the benefits of their existing infrastructure such as automated backups, data mining tools, etc.
    My initial thought is to use "Read Trace.vi" in LabVIEW to pull historical data from the citadel database at regular intervals (e.g. 1 minute) and insert this data into Oracle via ODBC.  In this way, I do not need to track the value changes in order to know when to write to Oracle.  I also considered replicating the citadel database using some other method, but I recall that the tables used by citadel are somewhat complicated.  I only need a simple table with columns for channel, timestamp, and data.  The "Read Trace.vi" will provide me data in this format.
    I do not need to update the Oracle database in real time, a few minute delay is acceptable. If anyone has a better idea or additional insight please let me know. Thanks.

    In terms of connectivity, you want to use ADO, not ODBC. Beyond that, it all depends on the structure of the data and what you are going to want to do with it. This is a very big question that you need to be getting some in-depth assistance.

    >In Dreamweaver, you can set a border for each image but

    Way too complicated. If you want to change the color or style
    of the
    border, you have to modify the image. With CSS you can
    directly change
    the line style in a much easier and faster way.

  • HT1329 I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer.  I don't see any of my playlists on the new computer.  What is the easiest way to transfer my playlists without having to recreate each one?

    I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer, so the new one has a totally different user interface.  I signed on to my account and saw my music but I have no playlists on the new computer.  What's the easiest way to replicate or restore my playlists as I had them in the old computer and in my iPod?

    OK, thanks for the response.  I'm copying it onto a memory stick to transfer it to the new computer.  Still have two questions:
    1. Since there is already an iTunes folder on the new computer, created when iTunes was downloaded, where exactly do I copy the old folder onto the computer so that iTunes can find it?  In the old interface, there used to be a field where one could designate the path to find music and I don't see that in the new interface.
    Assuming the above takes care of putting my playlists onto the new computer...
    2.  How do I add music that is currently stored in a back up file but was not on my old computer's drive?  I'm worried that I would have to add these one by one somehow, and there are a lot of songs.
    Thanks again.

  • Fonts - What's the easiest way to do this?

    Hi All,
    I'm in a situation at the moment where I would like to put the JDK 1.4 fonts into a JDK 1.3 program..
    What's the easiest way to do this?

    Hi,
    perhaps you can get no answer, because it is not clearly said, what you want to do?- From which JDK 1.4 Fonts are you talking of?- What is meant by this?- The Font class or what else?- Do you want to replace one or more .class files of JDK 1.3 by one of JDK 1.4?
    In general you are not allowed to replace parts of the packages or subpackages of "java", "javax" or "sun" or add or remove classes to resp. from them - you accepted this terms when you had downloaded the JDK - sure, it is possible, but you are not allowed to do so - it is illegal.

  • What is the easiest way to wrap photos with text in ps CS4?

    What is the easiest way to wrap photos with text in ps CS4?

    InDesign handles text much better that either Illustrator or Photoshop.
    In InDesign there is more than one way to put a frame around a paragraph:
    Select the text frame, go to Object menu - Text Frame Options and set the Inset Spacing to keep the text away from the frame edge.
    Then select the text frame with the selection tool (black arrow) check the Fill/Stroke icon at the bottom or the tool box and make sure the Stroke is selected, and choose a Stroke width from the tool bar at the top of the screen.
    Or you can do it a quick and dirty way by just drawing another frame and place it on top of the text frame. Give this frame a Stroke and make sure the Fill is set to None.
    I selected both frames in this example simply to show that they are two separate frames. The first method (above) only produces one frame.
    Your original question was regarding text wrap, the third example shows text wrapping around the photo.
    Place or type your text. Place your image and go to the Window menu - Text Wrap. You can set the Offset margins individually to keep the text away from the edge of the image.
    For things like this InDesign is definitely the best way to go.

  • What's The Easiest Way To Un-Disable My iPod.?

    What is the easiest way to un-disable my iPod without having to download iTunes?

    If you were using iCloud, you can remotely wipe it, provided your iPod is in range of a known Wifi you have previously connected to (therefore giving it internet access).  Other than that, you will need a computer and the ability to download iTunes to restore it.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    Use Find My iPhone
    If you enabled Find My iPhone, you can use it to erase your device.
    Go to icloud.com/#find to see if you enabled Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
    Select your device and click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
    Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup of your device.
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.

  • I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    What do you not understand?
    You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
    Or
    However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
    you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

  • What is the easiest way to create and manage very big forms?

    I need to create a form that will contain few hundred questions. Could you please give me some advise on what is the easiest way to do that? I mean for example is it easier to create everything in Word (since it is easier to manage) and than create a form based on that?
    My concern is that when I will have a very big form, containing different kinds of questions and with many scripts, managing it during work will be slow and difficult, for example adding a question in the middle of the form which would require moving half of the questions down which could smash the layout etc.
    What is the best practise for that?
    Thanks in advance

    Try using Table and Rows for this kind of forms. These forms will have the same look throught with a question and and answer section..
    In the future if you want to add a new section, you can simply add rows in between..
    Thanks
