Today I'd like to share a new tutorial with you. It's actually based off of an older tutorial (Creating Thumbnail Galleries).
So, you already know that many of the files on my blog are set up as thumbnail galleries...
So, you already know that many of the files on my blog are set up as thumbnail galleries...
I just love them!! There are so many benefits to thumbnail galleries...especially if you've been blogging for awhile now.
Galleries allow you to do the following:
Galleries allow you to do the following:
- Showcase your older posts (they get buried quickly by newer ones, don't they?)
- Provide your readers a nice, visual navigation of your blog.
- Set up shopping guides for your customers.
- Offer pin-ready images for your visitors...and it's the image you'd like to be pinned most, since you chose it for your gallery.
- My thumbnails are kind of small and that hovering Pinterest icon (which I love!) blocks them a lot.
- The smaller images look funny when pinned by readers and I'd like a larger preview to be selected for pinning.
- I have more control over the overall layout and font size with this newer format.
So what does this newer format look like? You can see it in its beginning stages on my Shop page.
And it's pretty easy to set up! All you need are some picture previews of your files, this AWESOME HTML Table Generator tool, and a little bit of code work. Don't worry, it's not the scary kind of code, I promise!

In other, unrelated news I have some new social networking icons located at the top of my blog...and right here:

I have been wanting to do the gallery images for a while. I just pinned this and will come back to it...hopefully soon! Your alphabet posters are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this Kristen! One of the reasons I love your blog so much is because it is so visually appealing! It's like candy for my eyes. I will be watching your video and this is going to be my first to-do list task come summer time!

This was so, so helpful-you have no idea!!! Thank you for taking the time to put this video together.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any suggestions for doing something similar to collect websites for practicing various skills? I would really like to have my websites all in one place with thumbnail images.
Many Thanks!
