Hi

I'm a bit simple so be patient,

I'm in the process of creating a Dreamweaver site (CC2017) and want to now create a Gallery page, I have created a Gallery using Lightroom.

Is there a way I can place what I have created in Lightroom directly onto my Dreamweaver site? All I seem to be able to do is create a link to the Lightroom page I have created.

If I can and you know how then I love you so much.

Thanks

Rich

I don't use Lightroom galleries on Web pages.  I've always found better and more practical approaches than allowing a graphics app to generate HTML pages for me.  

One method requires a 3rd party add-on of which there are many. This one is good & it works inside Dreamweaver.

Or if you want an image slider, look at Wow Slider.

WOW : jQuery Slider w/o Coding : jQuery Slideshow

Another approach uses server-side scripting with PHP code to automatically populate the web page with images stored in a designated server folder (i.e. thumbnails_folder/ and slides_folder/).  I often use this method because I don't need to do much to maintain it except delete/add new images to the folders.  All the heavy lifting is performed by the PHP script.

One other thing to consider is creating an Adobe Portfolio site (it's free with your Creative Cloud plan). 

Adobe Portfolio | Build your own personalized website

Portfolio ties in seamlessly with collections/galleries that are synched on Lighroom Mobile.

Portfolio is great for people who don't like working with code.
