Expression Web Resources
One of the more common requests I've seen is what to use to replace the FrontPage Photo Gallery since Expression Web does not have a photo gallery generator built-in. I've collected a few links to free gallery creators that you might find useful:
Do you have a favorite photo gallery creator to suggest? Remember that it must work cross-browser.

Thanks for these Links Cheryl
I liked Jalbum and Smoothgallery.
I also tried Picasa but the default templates were very dull, so I looked around the web and found these templates for Picasa, some of which are great!
Just download them and put them in to your Picasa web templates folder (usually C:\Program Files\Picasa2\web\templates)
I really like Postcard Viewer but everyone has their own favorite styles.
I put up a quick gallery using it here http://jirehcakes.net/Flashy/flashy.html
Also tried the trial version of Expression Media and it can do some pretty good Web galleries as well.

Hi Cheryl
Very nice site! Classy look throughout, this was designed by yourself wasn't it?
Even the contact form is styled so well.
Maybe I will be able to make sites like this someday.
Thank you and yes, that site is 100% my design (well the jewelry is the client's).<g>
I was rather pleased with the result myself.
Is there any way to get these nice effects wihtout using javascript?
I found this:
http://www.webreference.com/programming/css_gallery/index.html
It seems that only CSS is needed, doesn't it?
http://www.ornj.net/webalbum/ is CSS based ... fully validates .... accessbility and usebility and seo friendly ....
Why use any other type?
They also entertained the idea of making it addon to Expression Web ... if you like it enquire also of the possbility.
