Hello. Im new here. Just did my webpage real quick the last 3 hours at 5head.net. Anyways... Can someone help explain to me how I can edit the "about" page on the top right corner? I was following the tutorial I found in the forums, but it didnt explain it. Also, how do I categorize my pictures by date? Thank you so much in advance. I hope to be around a lot more and try to better my site. Hope to get to know everyone here soon.

just insert a tag <MONTH_CALENDAR> in your browse_template.html

and I found you're also using addon page_archive, so you also can insert a tag <BROWSE_MONTHLY_ARCHIVE_PAGED>

and you can edit the "about" page in templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/about_template.html

thank u so much for the help.

I have 2 more questions. How can I get this effect:

Where all the thumbnails are the same size? Mine gets either stretched or warped, so I try not to resize it. Also, How do I add another page? Do you guys have a basic tutorial on that? I was thinking of maybe like a news link... or a download section? THanks again for the help

1. Admin panel -> Options ->Thumbnails -> CROP THUMBNAILS -> Yes
Admin panel -> Options ->Thumbnails -> THUMBNAILS SIZE -> size

2. Just add other xxxx_template.html page in your template directory. It will be available under your_address.com/?x=xxxx address.
Other way is to hardcode in template link to what you want and where you want :)

ALso, is it possible for me to get all the comments for the particular picture to just be on the bottom of that picture instead of having to click the comments tab?

i'm sure you could find a script for a guestbook if you searched google.

regarding comments... wherever you choose to include the <IMAGE_COMMENTS> tag in your template is where the comments will be displayed in a list.

can you show me specifically what to do? This is my first time creating a website. And does anyone have a tutorial on how to create another page?

how to create another page?

the same as every page

<html>
<head> </head>
<body></body>

I think this forum is not necessary to give information how to write a webpage, because this information is everywhere to find and not specific to Pixelpost, you could start here for example:

http://webdesign.about.com/c/ec/9.htm

when you have written a website, upload it to your webspace and add a link to that file in your image-template or browse-template of Pixelpost.

All these points are to learn with a lot of tutorials, HTML for Dummies etc.

no problem. many people learned that.
But this forum here is especially for Pixelpost, which is very easy to use.
But you might start elsewhere to learn the first essential lessons which you can use with PP then
