  ChaosTheory Theme. I am confused by the Gallery & Media tabs when adding images to different Pages within my blog. Is it possible to add a Gallery of pictures, drawn from the blog’s central Media area, to MORE than one page? Thanks.

  You can add pictures from the media library to any post, but a gallery is connected to individual posts or pages.
  This is brilliant, and might inspire you to figure out a workaround:

  If I were trying to add a gallery-like display, I’d probably just make a table and insert pictures from the media library.

  Thanks. To make a table : how easy/difficult is that? (I’m at beginner-level HTML skills!)

  A gallery starts by uploading some images in a post – not from the Media Library. If you want the same gallery in another post as well, you get the ID number of the first post and write:

  [gallery id="POST_ID_HERE"]

  Simple tables are rather easy with html; if you want fancy borders etc., then it gets a bit more complicated. You can find several html tutorials in the web.

  If you are a PC user, you can easily create tables using Windows Live Writer.
