Jonathan (81 comments.) — 08/29/2008 @ 12:18 pmJai’s gallery info was great. I would like to learn more about wordpress’ built in gallery function. I’m curious about adding more than one gallery to a page. what if you want one main gallery page, with several different galleries to choose from? Like a gallery>albums set up. I would love to not need to use a plugin for this. Does anyone have any links they can share?
