Thread: How Do I Create Thumb Pics?

Hello all! I am seeking some guidance here as I am new to building websites (not easy is it!!):):) and I would like to create a page full of (photos) items I am selling, then I want the visitor to be able to click on the image and it opens in another window (enlarge) with a brief discription and price tag, along with a paypal button!!! I will not give up.
HELP! HELP! HELP!

Well, there are a couple ways to do this. Personally, if I want further information - I want it on the page - where the people can see it and so can the se's. And I then use the gallery feature - which you tick the thumbnail box and the open in popup - and you'll have the picture do what you want.

If you want the picture to be small and click on it to open either a pop-up or another windeow - then you size the picture how you want, then make a separate page with the larger picture and the text you want - and make your thumbnail clickable to the other page. This would actually be good if you make these others full pages - product pages. And I do this with some of my products.

You can also do the above where it opens in a pop-up window - which I've seen some stores do - and whenever I want to beat them in SEO - I simply make my text on the page or product page, not in the pop-up window, even though doing a product page versus what you want is similar, it gives different results to customers when they do searches.

my advice is to use the lightbox on the left side. you have all your pictures sized to 600 x 450 and you choose 180 x 180 or 240 x 240 depending on the number of items you want to have go across. The length is endless. You can see this at

from here you can link to any of the product pages on the bottom and you will see various examples.
hope this helps
