Will,
Impressive CV. I am trying to set up a web site as well. Have had no problem up-loading picture files from within Elements to my web page, but that alone is not my concept of a web page. There is a humorous and/or frustrating aspect to this as well. I latched on to Trellix on a CD from a printer, and thought that this program would do the trick for me. It went along smoothly until I wanted to up- load to my ISP, but I was limited to 3 ISP's that the creator and payers of the disk had ordained. No free lunch!! I shall pursue this further; can't quite justify the price of Front Page for my purpose. As of this moment I am arrested at this stage of development: <http://members.cox.net/kliffmann/>

On your web page, your first question is, "learning how to link albums."

The way I did this was to create a top level folder that mirrored what would be on the web site.

Then I created an index.html file, just like you have on your web site now.

When I created Web Albums with PSE, I saved them into the top level folder.

Each time I created a new Web Album, I went back to index.html and entered a link to the index page in a Web Album. I also added a thumbnail next to the link.

If you try to do this WITHOUT a table, it is incredibly difficult. The key idea is to create an HTML Table, and put your links in that.

I searched for something to do this automatically, what you call "link albums." I could not find a script or utility to do this reliably and quickly.

If you had a tool as simple and direct as Adobe PageMill, then building the index page and uploading your site would be much easier. I've used Trellix and a million other web page building tools. Eventually I had to abandon my search for the one true tool, because there is not enough time. I hope that Adobe is working on something that will link web albums in an index, and FTP it to your site.

I moved on and purchased a domain name and disk space so that I could install scripts and use the server to process the files, creating thumbs and albums and everything else.
