I have recently written a tutorial on creating photograph galleries using CSS, HTML and Lightbox.

The tutorial is designed for beginners and provides step by step instructions of how to code the CSS and HTML required to lay out a basic photograph gallery. Slides are displayed simply using Lightbox.

I have attempted to use the simplest methods, however should anyone have suggestions which would make the tutorial easier, please let me know.

Hi Russ

I have thought of doing it as a list, but I just could not think of any advantage or gain.

My aim was to create a gallery using the least amount of coding. By using a list, all it seemed to do, is add to the amount of coding required.

What does everyone else think?

If your tutorial is how you got the gallery on the front of your page to work, why mess with it?

It's to do with content structure, and grouping related elements together, a list binds them. what impact it has on certain devices, and to search engines etc. though I'm not too sure.

But i don't think it's overly important, it seems to a preference thing.

Are you talking about on my tutorial or your own site.

If your own site, check that the next and before graphics have been copied into the right place.

LOL I thought I'd done it, but cos the lightbox css wasn't in the same folder...DOH!

Thanks
