I know this is my first post and probably really bad of me to start a new friends ship with, but here goes.

I am new to this gallery game and i am trying to set this up for a few army friends before we go away,

I am looking to have a theme installed and learn how to set the site up so it looks pritty proffessional before i go.

All i need is possible someone to help me make the site look the dogs BO***ks and to help sort a army theme.

Limited budget but willing to pay unless some one fancys doing for free, has i am not sure how hard it would be.

But would like the image attached some where at the top of the page

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Do you have any web hosting sorted yet? If not, you could choose one offering 'Fantastico De Luxe' (as part of cPanel) and that has an auto install for Gallery 2.3. if you've already got it up and running, ignore that bit.

I would suggest using one of the default themes, such as Carbon - you'd then have to skin it to make it look the dog's b*ll*cks! Although, I haven't seen that many attractive dog's b*ll*cks to be honest! ;)

To get up and running quickly install the colourpack plugin and hopefully you'll be able to change the colours to more army-greens, sandy camouflage colours without having to know any html or CSS.

You can also set it up to use your own image in the top-left corner by editing the setting in the theme control panel. You just need to be able to load your badge image on to your server, preferably into the themes/carbon/images folder.

I've only just started using Gallery2, and have found this forum very useful.

Good luck getting your gallery up and running before you go, and post to this forum if you get stuck.

Cheers,

Tracy

Depending on your level of experience, a simple embed is a great way to achieve the look you're looking for.
I've created an easy form to help.
