It is defaulted to GALLERY. The Album and Picture will be discussed in another tutorial.

Before choosing your gallery, you have to choose between IMAGE LIST and SLIDESHOW.  It is defaulted to IMAGE LIST.

I always choose IMAGE LIST for the main reason that a bug in Firefox and Internet Explorer exist wherein the FLASH player is not recognized. The bug is random and it affects all operating system. There is really no way to know. Though the bug is not common, it is common enough to be mentioned at ZDNet and also for the IE8 beta to have a button to start Flash if it does not start automatically when viewing a Flash page.

Because Choosing the IMAGE LIST also gives the viewer a SLIDESHOW link if they want to view a slideshow, choosing IMAGE LIST as our default is actually our best bet.

Now, time to CHOOSE the GALLERY.

In this window, the galleries are ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED. Because we are going to insert A Herchcovitch, it’s actually very high up on the list.

NOTE: The gallery number changes. This example is Gallery no. 91. Other galleries will have different numbers.
