Coni guring gallery settings
At er choosing a template or Layout Style as a starting point, you'll work through
the controls on the right-side panels to customize your gallery design.

I usually start by styling the thumbnail pages. Most ht ml templates use “index”
pages for thumbnails, which link to individual pages that show each full-size photo.
(Flash templates ot en have the thumbnails on the same page as the full-size photo.)

In both cases, using Lightroom's built-in templates, you can't change the size of
the thumbnails, but you usually can change how many thumbnails will show on
a single page. Some third-party Layout Styles allow you to adjust the size and
presentation of thumbnails. (h e add-on Web layouts will provide documentation
for their controls.)

h e available layout options depend on the Layout Style you use, and they vary
widely. h e following example is based on Lightroom's default ht ml gallery, which
is the one I use most ot en.

SITE INFO PANEL
h e Site Info panel (see Figure 7-6, next page) provides controls for setting text on
the page. In most built-in templates, each line of text is styled dif erently. Although
you don't always have direct control over the text styles from within Lightroom,
with some knowledge of css, y ou can change styles at er you render the gallery i les.

h e top section of the Site Info panel includes:

• Site Title, such as “Nat Coalson Photography”
