I've created an web photo album within DW (and Fireworks) which was quite easy but I have a need to add to this library at various times. I presumed creating another library, copy and paste into the existing library would add but it seems all links are lost, the thumbnails don't appear and previewing in a browser only shows the original library.
Does anyone know a way in which I can create a library and add to it at a later date, either through DW/F8 or within Photoshop/IR.
My next step is to try creating Editable Regions or perhaps Inserting html and I'm guessing the index.html file needs renaming for each additional album.
I'm new to DW although Ive gone through a lot of video training plus the handy Dreamweaver for Dummies book.

thanks in advance for any help

thanks for the quick reply, had a look at this before but as the site is stored on my homepage I don't have access to server related apps, so no php or MySQL etc I'm afraid.
At some point I may move to a webserver but for the moment I'm after an easy fix that doesnt require lots of hand coding (which is what Ive been doing for the last few years).

then you'll have to do everything manualy. You'll need serverside to make things simple in long run.

I can't believe that once the code has been created by DW/F8 its not possible to import it straight into another page. Admitedly I can't the solution online but I'm determined to find the answer within the app.

photoshop has web photo gallery automated process where it will take your images resize them, make thumbnails and generate gallery pages and you have few templates to pick from!

yeah I been messing with that today, good results tbh and it even created a flash gallery. It also created some coding I've never seen before which might be part of flash - TOKENS. When I return home I'll have a play with this and see how easy it is to import into DW and how easy it is to edit/add. I've also read that you can edit the templates and therefore get PS to do most of the work to your own style.
I'm obviously curious as to how good the coding is though.
