Picture Gallery Working

After upgrading the Drupal software on this website, and then upgrading the Gallery 2 software used for the pictures, those two programs weren't working together. Although I had the picture gallery working and upgraded, users to this website weren't able to see the picture gallery or to view the pictures.
Finally tonight, or should I say, "early this morning" I finally was able to finished embedding the Gallery 2 software within Drupal. Now users can click on the "Picture Gallery" link at the left and will be able to actually see and explore the picture gallery.
Slide Shows. When you go into any gallery folder, you can see a slide show of the pictures in that folder. At the bottom of each gallery page, under "Advanced Search" you will see a text box with . When you click in this text box a menu will give you additional view choices, such as "View Slide Show". At the top of the slide show window you will have additional choices. For example "Delay, Direction, Max size, and fade".
High Speed Instructions:You can change the "Delay" to be any amount, but I recommend you change the setting to be 5 seconds or less. For the "max size setting", use 640 X 640. Most pictures in the gallery have been limited in size to 640 X 640, so any size larger than that may not be useful.
Dial Up Instructions: If you are using Dial up connection, then you'd probably want to leave the delay at 5 to 15 seconds (to give the next picture time to load between picture changes). Also, the max size of 320 X 320 will enable the pictures to change quicker.
Happy Viewing.
