I think i’ve found it!
I think that I might have found the solution to my problem with my Gallery. It would involve me installing another gallery program, called Gallery, and configuring a plug-in to integrate it into my site. if I can get it to work on my site (i’m going to work on the local copy of my site on my laptop while offline at Nelson’s folk’s house) then I’ll get it online, move over the old galleries, trash the old pictoralis gallery, and upload some new galleries.
It seems the fun never ends for the geek… Good times as my friend Christopher would say. Good times indeed. 
sure.. tell everyone your secrets.. now anyone can do it.
