New & Improved Photo Gallery Released!

New & Improved Photo Gallery Released! 08/21/2009

We're happy to announce an improved photo gallery element! Our newest addition to the Weebly team, Adam, has been hard at work the past few weeks to release the new gallery with the following improvements:

Next/previous buttons: After you click to view an image larger, hover over the photo to see next/previous links to easily load the next/previous photo in the gallery.
Border options: Choose between a few different border styles, or no border at all.
Squared images: If you have photos of different aspect ratios in the same gallery, things can look a little messy. The square images option displays all the photos square so they're always in a perfect grid.
No more white backgrounds: You may have noticed with the old photo gallery that a white background was automatically added to photos that did not have a 4:3 ratio. This problem has been fully fixed!

If you have an old gallery already on your site, republishing your site will add the next/previous feature; however, if you'd like to have the other features, just drag on a new photo gallery element and re-upload your photos.

We hope you enjoy the new features! Check out the sample galleries below and let us know what you think in the comments.

Thank-you so much. This is a huge improvement for me as I am working on a photo site. Not to be ungrateful, but my wish would be to able to have the vertical photos without so much space between them... if they could have the same space as the horizontal ones do.
Much appreciated!

The gallery is a real improvement - I agree with Jane that the ability to add captions would be even more marvellous!

Weebly is the best. We have 9 programs using it in Las Vegas. The password protection really helps keep our students and their assignments we post safe. Keep up the good work.

Good work Adam. Way to go. Cheers!

08/29/2009 10:17am

This is a good addition to the multimedia.

Suggestion : Can you add a feature where we can add text description of the photo. So when the user clicks on the picture icon in photo gallery then a normal sized image is displayed with its description .
Secondly can we add a slidshow option to the photo gallery feature.
Hope we can implement the points.

Great start! Can we please get the availabilty to label our photos. A great photo gallery is nothing without the capability to say what they are pics of.

Emmanuel Adero link

08/29/2009 5:56pm

Can't thank you enough; the white backgrounds in the gallery (and the necessity to crop everything to 4:3) were really bugging me. No more! :)

Ann Nolen link

08/29/2009 11:23pm

Weebly,
Still love your site, and thanks for the new feature... I noticed some people were asking for captions on the gallery. I figured that one out by using Picasa (free Google photo program) to add text to the photo. Put them in the Gallery, and all is perfect! Picasa also allows you to create HTML to embed a slideshow on your website, which works really well with Weebly. Weebly + Google... doesn't get much better than that!

08/30/2009 7:13am

Thats fantastic !

I have one suggestion for you reg the SEO. Can you please give the option of inserting seperate keywords, meta tags for EACH page.

The gallery is awesome and resulted in me abandoning both cssitebuilder and Concrete5. Keep up the awesome work.

I want to ask that it be possible to put a caption below images in the gallery. This would be a great incremental feature.
