My experience is that a template is necessary, and as soon as you choose a template you are pretty much boxed-in as far as formatting/expansion possibilities (such as for instance the addition of a gallery that links via clicking an image in the gallery to the individual coin&#039;s information page). Although I would <b>love</b> to include a gallery on mine, it just does not seem to be a possibility because I lack both the knowledge/skills/experience/time to design and code a website from scratch, and the big buck$ it seems to take to pay someone to do it.”</i></p><p><br /></p><p>As with all web pages written using HTML/CSS there are many ways to “skin a cat” in doing what you want to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, if you employ Style Sheets you do not have to concern yourself too much about making a template - just rough sketch .what you want your page(s) to look like, then write the appropriate CSS code. It is then easy to tweak it to accomplish the layout. You can change the structure, style, coloration , etc. anytime to suit your taste - I use the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) in writing my own web pages - just remember that quality and reliability of content is king (people don’t visit web pages to admire how they look, but for the information they provide).</p><p><br /></p><p>And do not pay “big bucks” to anyone to learn how to do all that - I will be glad to guide/tutor you for free via PM - just, let me know, but it should be quick - I do not know how much longer I will be able to do this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I extracted one of my web sites that includes a simple coin photo image gallery from archive (you can see it is several years old) as an example. All the links are clickable. I have checked the page function and navigation in the Safari and Firefox graphical Browsers on my IPad (that is all I have available now) - I do not know about function in other Browsers). It requires some patience in using the links for navigation - retrieval from archive via Wayback is slow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Archived page that includes simple coin photo image gallery:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170426124947/http://jp29.org/cdir.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170426124947/http://jp29.org/cdir.htm" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20170426124947/http://jp29.org/cdir.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>James[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
