Another issue of course is the embedded slideshows. If you have a copyright logo then it gets transferred to this embedded gallery. BUT, the logo will not get resized so you could end up with BIG text over your small embedded gallery, which will effectively spoil it.

This is great news! Having tried out a few (ok all of) the templates, I have come to the conclusion that some work still needs to be done: 1. The templates work very well with horizontal images but not so well with vertical images. This is apparent if one tries to set up a Main Featured Gallery image. If this is vertical then the rest of the page remains well below the screen fold. That is to say even on my Apple 30 inch screen I will need to scroll quite far to see any other galleries. There is no way to adjust this, say by having a smaller main image. 2. Some of the pop up flash navigation is not well seen when floating under the images, particularly with black and white images. 3. It looks like the re rendering of images significantly destroys their sharpness. Or perhaps it is just my eyes? Otherwise, this is a MAJOR step forward. Look forward to having even more ‘instant’ customisation options guys!

Fantastic addition guys, I’m really looking forward to using the embed features. Just one question before I get right into using it: In your sample above, the images from Andy’s slideshow link to his customized archive, not his standard Personal Archive. I noticed the embed code for each gallery will link to my standard Personal Archive gallery, not the customized version. Is there a way to get the code easily without having to edit it each time to link to my customized galleries? Keep up the good work, you guys rock! Cheers, Josh

I absolutely LOVE the embedded images! It’s EXACTLY the solution I’ve been looking for for my photoblog! I’m currently in the process of converting my entire photoblog over to embedded images which will now be located here if you want to take a look – http://www.cavaroc.com/photoblog/ I’ve scrapped pixelpost – where I had to make a separate lo-res file, watermark it, then upload it, then upload the hi-res to my photoshelter archive – in exchange for wordpress where I can just plug in the html for the embedded image and presto! My photos are there for the world to share! AWESOME addition to the site! I can’t thank you enough!
