Changing the format of the gallery pages

The Gallery pages are built up of categories which can be updated by adding posts, the problem with this was that each new image I posted had a date stamp of when I uploaded it. The other aesthetic issue I did not like was that you had to scroll down to see each image, I wanted all the images to be viewed at once allowing the viewer to enlarge individual images as they wish. 



Whilst in the Wordpress workshop I learnt how to add a gallery to a post, rather than an individual image. There were different formats to show the images; tiled mosaic, square tiled,slideshow, cirlces and thumbnail grid.

Tiled Mosaic                    Thumbnail Grid

Square Tile                            Circles    

Slideshow


I felt the squared tiled option was most appropriate in size and formality. If you hover over an image the title appears along with a caption, if you click on the image it enlarges to fill the screen with the caption beneath. I have decide to include the title, year created and medium within the caption.
