Gallery Functions

Hi,
I've read through other people's posts and determined that I needed the plugin: NextGEN Gallery. I installed and activated but it will take me some time to determine how to use it -- but in the meantime, I'm not seeing how to get gallery images to appear on homepage in the Theme Options Galley area. Is there a shortcode or something to get images to appear? Thank you ver much.

 

If you are theme is like mine, I am using Smoky, once you insert images in posts they will automatically show up there.

 

Thanks for your suggestion, Aeconsulting..

I really appreciate your efforts for sharing your knowledge here.
