Symbiostock beginner

one more thing, with Image Categories, drop down menu, i read somewhere, or someone posted it, that its better to have a list of categories on a page rather than a long drop down menu as there are a lot of categories, so i think i will go ahead with a page.
Do i need a gallery plugin for a portfolio page? i read somewhere about a grid?

Aah – makes sense now. I didn’t realize. You can use AJT’s plugin to make your site a portfolio referral (pointing to IS for a sale) in the interim

I don’t know what sort of portfolio page you had in mind. If you just want to display everything on your site, you can make a menu item linked to your-site-name/image/. I also have a category for Best Sellers – it’s just like any other category in how it displays – so you could have one for your highlights.

If you want something you can make a layout for and pick only certain images you need a gallery plugin. I use one for my categories gallery

And there’s one I use for my blog table of contents – Masonry by page builder

They have a nice example of making a gallery of images:

You can put together a page by hand of course with anything you like 🙂
