I decided I should properly integrate my photo galleries into my site. I dug around and found a "simple" way to do it. The guy said it would take five minutes at most.
OK, five minutes… you know what happens when I’ve got a five minute job to do.
So anyway, I uploaded the files he said I needed and made a slight change to a configuration file.
I checked out the newly integrated gallery and it looked great! Truly a five minute job! I navigated through the galleries admiring my work. Then I tried backtracking through the links and all hell broke loose. The navigation worked in one direction but not back towards the beginning. Hmmm…
This site is powered by a scripting language called PHP. You know almost as much about PHP that I do. Believe me. I really don’t know squat about PHP. After about five HOURS of trial and error (or maybe I should say dumb luck) I discovered that there was a missing "slash" in the PHP code that was provided. Now everything seems to be functioning properly.
I also spent a bunch of time tweaking the appearance. I’ve still got a bit more to do but I’m getting too tired to do any more today.
So check out the new and improved photo galleries and let me know what you think.

Looking great Pete!
Like you, I struggle with php but after much trial and error am now able to do simple things.
I’m well complimented you liked my shot of the BGT sign enough to include it. Thanks!
