    I have kinda painted myself into a corner. I am building a site where the home page will have one column of images and I need to create a gallery page with two columns of pictures.
    I don’t think I am the only one with this type of requirement and would like to use best practice with Pinboard.
    Could you suggest the best approach to this?

    Thanks,
    BTW is there a search on the forum? It doesn’t show up for me.

    Try using the Gallery Shortcode.

    Here is a little more info and I am also trying to figure out the priority of which tool to use for a given situation. Here is what I am dealing with. I am building a gallery page off the nav bar with these requirements:

    The page will be a gallery of images posted in one category
    There will be two columns
    Total content width = 690px with two columns as follows:
    Columns margins from right to left: [ 0px – 340px – 10px – 340px – 0px ] no padding
    Images need to load with a maximum fixed width (340px) and random lengths depending on the image – no thumbnails

    Which would be the best practice:

    Custom Page Template
    Plug-in (which one)
    Shortcode

    After considering these three known options (there may be others) I am leaning more to a Custom Page Template. I would like to get some information about developing a custom page for posting with 2 columns. I am also open to options I don’t know about.

    Thanks,
    gary
