Browsing Method (Image or Video Galleries)

Each image or video gallery can use a different method of browsing. This is a great way of personalising your FolioStop site, while remaining within the same overall layout.

For example, a gallery can have thumbnails or numbers representing the images, or you could use Next and Previous arrows to browse.

To choose a different browsing method, double click the image gallery icon -Gallery Page Icon- or video gallery icon -Movie Gallery Icon- representing the gallery you wish to edit, then in the top right click on SHOW ADVANCED. This will result in the screen below:


SHOW ADVANCED GALLERY


To choose a different browsing method, select from the three options entitled 'Thumbnails, 'Arrows', or 'Numbers'.

NB: the chosen browsing method will be applied only to the gallery you are editing, not other galleries.

Advanced Search Engine Optimisation

In addition to setting global meta tags (title, keywords, and description) for your website, FolioEdit also allows you to set meta tags for each and every page individually.

To set meta tags for a specific page (text page, multimedia page or gallery), open the page editor in the usual way, and click on SHOW ADVANCED in the top right. You can then enter the meta tags in the fields allocated.

If you set meta tags for a specific page, this will over-ride your global settings, for that page only. Be sure the specify the entire title for your page, it will not inherit anything from your global tags or its menu name. This is so that you can have complete control overwhat is displayed.

Why set meta tags for individual pages?

Setting specific page titles and keywords can help with optimising your website for specific search phrases. Unless you are really trying to optimise your website, you probably don't need to use do any of the below.
