Gallery

An image gallery will display a set of small images attached to a particular post or page.

Readers can click on any image to launch a full-size carousel that allows them to scroll through the entire gallery one image at

a time.

With the slideshow option, images will automatically move from one to the next after a few seconds.

Link to: Does not apply to slideshows. Attachment Page: A specialized page in your blog that shows the image in your

selected theme.

Media File: A direct link to the full-size uploaded image.

Columns: The number of columns of thumbnails to display. This may be affected by your choice of theme, so be sure and test a bit with your current theme. This option does not apply to slideshows.

Random Order: Check this box to randomize the order of images in your gallery or slideshow. That means the order will change randomly every time the page is loaded.

Type: Specify the type of gallery here. The options are a default gallery of thumbnail images, a gallery with rectangular tiles, a gallery with square tiles, a gallery with circular tiles, or a slideshow.

You have three choices for how a gallery will be displayed in your post: a thumbnail grid layout, a tiled mosaic-style layout, or

in a slideshow. All sites default to the thumbnail grid style.

Tiled layouts can display in one of three styles: rectangular tiles (which include hover-over captions), square tiles, or

circular tiles.

Widgets!

01:36 AM 29

Widgets

Widget is a fancy word for tools or content that you can add, arrange, and remove from the sidebar(s) of your blog.

Depending on the Theme that you are using, Widgets might appear to the right, the bottom or both the right and bottom of your webpage.

01:36 AM 30

Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by

using the Visibility panel.

Widgets

01:36 AM 31

WidgetsVisibility is controlled by five aspects: page type, category,

tag, date, and author.

For example, if you wanted the Archives widget to only appear on category archives and error

pages, choose “Show” from the first dropdown and then add two rules: “Page is 404

Error Page” and “Category is All Category Pages.”
