Hi evryone,

Im new here but i wasnt able to find an introductions forum, so ill do it here and tell you about a problem i have also. Well, i have been working with html for around three weeks now in order to create a site for my photographs. I have managed to make the intro, links and about pages myself. I have generated the galleries using Photoshop CS2, and this is where the problem lies.

Creating a gallery is easy, but when I want to create additional galleries or update an existing one, it doesn't work out,as photoshop names the files it creates exactly the same for all galleries. I have managed to create a few galleries, but it's a lot of manual work to change folder names and the html code photoshop has created. And it's driving me mad :confused:

I have allready saved the files in separate folders on my computer, but the files are named the same in each folder. I hope i have explained this clearly. My site has been up and running for 10 days now

So if you could please take a look and see if you can pinpoint my problem i will be eternaly in your debt.

For starters, it's a mistake to rely on Photoshop to generate your pages for you; the resulting markup painfully reflects this mistake.

I don't know what your knowledge of HTML and CSS is, but if you want to construct decent pages, you might want to look into a more appropriate tool like DreamWeaver, which will also take some of the grunt of naming, filing and linking your images off your hands. Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS is still strongly recommended, though.

If you want nothing to do with the technical details at all, you may wish to look into Content Management Systems (CMS); there are many open source packages available (see for instance opensourceCMS (http://www.opensourcecms.com/)), but I have no experience with gallery type CMSes.
