Hi :) I didn't know where to post this as i'm new here.i'm really interested in having a gallery but i have no idea what to do.Do you just download the one you want to pick,then upload it all somewhere?If so,can you tell me where?
Also does it cost anything? :) Sorry for all the q's i just have no idea what to do,really hope you can help me. :)

We seem to have something in common - not knowing much ;) - so I'll give you my pennorth.

Dont bother looking further for a gallery, Coppermine is very easy for a beginner to get going. I also think its pretty unbeatable in terms of speed, quality, etc.

My webhost offers Fantastico for installations, so if yours does that will be a snip. Mine was so quick I could scarcely believe it had happened!

Good luck.

I seem to have confused you! What I was trying to say was that, as a beginner, you would find it useful to have your web site hosted with a company that offers automatic intallations using Fantastico. The one I'm with is www.hostito.com  (http://www.hostito.com)  Their packages start at $7.95 per month, for which you would get Web hosting plus e-mail, including free setup plus a free domain name if you dont have one already!
Once you have your site on a site which offers Fantastico, you simply click on "Install Coppermine" and the installation is done automatically. Then you can upload thousands & thousands of pics.
Hope that explains things better.
Cheers Marian
