Sharing Gallery2

How I did it:
1) ftp all originals to my web server
2) prepared a smaller version (smaller file size and dimensions) for the asset folder
3) set up all the pages including the main page
4) put all instructions and thumbnail menu on foreground (set to hide master foreground in thumbnail properties)
5) pink flower on background and use it as first page (foreground / background on)
6) all other content pages (foreground on/background off)
7) each of the content page links to the url of it's respective original image

Thank you Trudy and Rose for your kind words. I'm slowly figuring out how to incorporate the different features that Sprout offers to creatively enhance the multimedia "widgets" that can be developed for different purposes. It is mind boggling to see all the interesting Sprouts coming up ... it's truly inspirational! I would like to thank the great guys at Sprout's for developing such an awesome tool. :-)

Great idea Lynda.

Sprout guys, would it be possible to call in images from a set directory and have them auto load in the thumbnail viewer? For example, users of a site upload their own images and it auto populates into the sprout. That would be a killer way to share photos in forums on specific topics.
