[link] <- this might be helpful for you, but there isn't such as a blank template.
Another option would be to modify existing gallery skins (if allowed)

Thanks for sharing it here. I'm stuck though on the part with the images. I don't get it when you said add our own.

Not sure if i know which step do you mean. Can you tell me which page it is? Or what you don't understand.

Hm, does the CSS gallery code automatically show up in the CSS box, or do we have to "know that code and copy and paste it" ourselves?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Either you have to write down the code on your own or you use a template, that you can find in the dA galleries. A lot of templates already have been provided to be used for free

I have seen custom CSS on a featured gallery page... HOW??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can find tutorials and resources here [link]

Not what I meant. I mean the Featured page of his gallery was customized. I'd link, but I don't remember his username...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The featured page can never be costumized. You can either upload folder icons and/or customize the custom folders. Therefore you will need free gallery CSS you can find within the dA galleries.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's theoretically true, and I haven't seen it anywhere else, but his featured gallery page was definitely customized.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well as long as i don't see that page i can't help you with that, as i have no information about such customization being possible.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh.

This is really useful, but even though I am a prem member I can't do this on the front page of my gallery, I can do it when I go into the folders in my Gal, but not directly on the front. Any advice or ideas where I could get some help?
Thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No one is able to customize the featured folder, that was made intentionally. So it's no problem on your side
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah that makes sense. It's confusing though, when I go to look at my friends gals they come up with nice CSS layouts. Is this because they are not using the featured folders? If so - is there a way to set this up?
Thanks!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, can you link me to it? Because you only have the option to customize those folders and nothing else.

:c i need a code for this
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes code is needed, there are several free gallery templates if you mean that. Please take a look at this [link]
There you find some of them and if you can download code, they are free to use

I try to not let message pile up too much, so it's rather ok to get back to people in time
Thanks a lot! Very happy with it as well

Your welcome! That super cool! I never thoughted of that of one of my avatars! Hey, with this long conversation.. i was thinking, of, maybe, can we be friends? >///<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it's not only my avatar but actually something like my mascot already.
Feel free to add me or whatever you mean by that, but i won't watch you, to make it possible to concentrate on "important" accounts that i need to check regulary etc
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh, like a mascot, i think i undestand, like a mini-me (a mini-you xD).
Oh, ok

This is so useful,Thank you so much for this tutorial you helped me,and i'm going to add my new gallery asap...
Thank you again!!
PS.
How did you uploaded a .swf file?
I tried but it's not working... :S
I uploade a file and the preview image is a .swf file but the problem is:
"Sorry, we can not use this file for deviation submission. It requires a separate preview image."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that's great to hear!
Hm, i guess it depends on where you submit it too. And you need a preview image for thumbsnails etc. Once you have added your swf-file there should be a new form below it at the submission page, where you need to add a preview image.
So both are mandatory to finish the submission process.

Looks pretty useful. I should take this into consideration when I'm renovating my galleries.

Good luck with renovating

All right.
In fact, I just started doing it right now, though I still have much to do, what with making the description box, et al., interesting but not distracting.
