Hey all,

First of all - My Site (http://www.jeffzenner.com)

Two questions (for now!)...

1) I like having some of the popular photos on the front page, but as it grows I want to limit this to a few of the popular photos. Is it possible to only show may 12 of them THEN have the 'most popular photos' link to a gallery that includes all popular photos which updates as they are selected?

For example, I would have a Category on the front page that is for Popular Photos and (if possible) the 'most popular photos' heading would also link to this category? Just looking for a better way to display without overwhelming front page. Hmm, or I could do a slideshow but would still need to know how to do a gallery of popular photos which updates.

2) I have my site/galleries set up to show clean descriptions which makes it nice - but is it possible to somehow include (like I do on these (http://jeffzenner.smugmug.com/Bellevue,%20Washington%20-%20Active%20Downtown%20Construction%20Projects) manually) which sites have been recently updated or the date at which they were last updated? This would include only something like UPDATED or simply the date would work too.

Any suggestions? These are some short term questions as I work toward an entire new format down the road (once my mockup finished and solicit help!).

Thanks-

Allen

In the upper left corner of the homepage popular box you can set the
number of thumbs showing in the box. Your popular gallery will still show all
of them.
