Ok, I installed coopermine gallery today :) *yaay*! But I was wondering how can I add a top image to the gallery? And how can I make a custom layout for it? For ex: like this:
http://www.ciarafan.com/gallery/
http://www.brittany-snow.org/gallery/index.php

Well...I like the "template" I have now, I guess I can keep it up for a temp. version since I'm wrking on a new layout for my site, but how can I get an image to go on it? Where it says "ericbal4.net | eric and Fredalba image gallery!" how can i put the image there and take out what they got? I would post the link but i don't want to advertise since I know it's against the rules, but if you click on my name and look @ the url just add /gallery to it (it's not linked on my site since i just installed it today lol!) I hope someone can help, thnx so much!! :)

You have to create a new theme.
I suggest modifiing the styleshhet and the temlate.html file of one of the themes.

thnx so much :) one other thing, how do i uplad my images to coopermine? thnx :)
