    1. Download Firefox if you haven't already (custom install with the DOM Inspector).
    2. Download the FF Web Dev Toolbar (http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/).
    3. Open your Plogger gallery.
    4. CSS > Edit CSS
    5. Outline > Block Level Elements
    6. Information > Display Ids & Classes
    7. Look at the element you want to change
    8. Find the corresponding rule
    9. Make the change
    10. See it take effect -- if it's not what you want, revert it and try again

    NB: Changes in "Edit CSS" aren't permanent; if they do what you want, you will have to actually go in and change the file. "Edit CSS" just gives you an idea of what a rule will do.

    You can also use the DOM Inspector or Display Element Info; I would give you keystrokes, but I use Win/Lin/Mac, so I've stopped bothering. ;)

    Also, use "display:none;" for anything you don't want to appear at all.

    As for CSS, here are some starters:
    The Best Starter's Guide I've Found:

    If it's CSS, you'll find everything you ever wanted to know here, including 2- and 3-column layouts and a wiki:

    thanks !! I was able to change a few things that i needed. The Css links you gave me look great! there is def alot to learn from them! I was searching thorugh and couldnt find the answer to this one probelm im having.
    I am still having issues with the width aspect of the page, I insert the code to call the gallery into the editbale region on my template and it for some reason strecthes the pages. Im sure this is a simple fix but cant find one .
    Thanks in advance for any insight to this probelm
    thanks

    So I played with the code for a few hours last night. I kept changing anything related to size and had no luck getting this to "fit" into my design.
    I dont want to just come here and ask how to do evrything but As im learnign it seems im having a hard time. If anyone knows what the issue could be.. i thought the wrapper size would make this work but that didnt. I would gretly appreciate it!
    thanks
