Problems solved, executing the juiceboxbuilder.air did the installation and created the .exe file, not so obvious.

I submitted a request to upgrade from my 1.4.4.2 to the current version, message says it can take a few business days, I'd really like it now.  I went to my original license, it gave a path to the download site.  I downloaded the lightroom plug-in for 1.5, installed into LR, works fine.  How do I get the current version of JB Builder 1.5?  I think I've been to all the download locations, haven't found it, also, according to the JB site, the desktop version is supposed to be free, or is that a typo?  Either way, how can I get a copy of the desktop version

I knew it could be done with html/css, was hoping there would have been a setting in JB.  That's ok, it only took a few keystrokes to edit the html file, that's great, thanks again.

Now that I have the title and captions working, is there a way to increase the font size?
I went through all of the .xml file settings, didn't see anything that had to do with the font size, only the fonts.

I can live with what I have but it would be nice to have a little more control, change color, add drop shadow, etc.

My current web page version, I'm sure I'll be making improvements on it.

Steven:

You pretty much answered my questions.  I think in the long run I'm better saving the Title and/or Caption in the original photo's metadata, although I've never done that.  I tried to find where the info went on the stand-alone program, but was in the Customize tab, not the Images tab. 
Normally I'll have the plug-in take care of the title, but in the short term, might just use the stand-alone version.

I guess you just had to know this stuff.  Probably the next thing I'll do is to increase the size of this info as it displays, but one step at a time.

Thanks for the quick response.

I've searched the forum and haven't found what I'm looking for.

I can always edit the photos beforehand with Photoshop, but that's a lot of extra work.  Is there a place in Juicebox to add captions to photos?  What I've figured out so far, there seems to be a place to turn captions on and off.  But there is no place to actually enter captions.  I'm using Lightroom 5, and I've found that if I go to the metadata for each photo, and enter the title, then have JB create the web page with captions enabled, I do get the caption at the bottom of the photo, on the same line as I get the image number, such as 3/20.

The reason I chose JB, I have been creating simple galleries with LR, although I'm using the latest version (5), it doesn't offer many web gallery tools.  I've been told by Scott Kelby that nobody uses their web tools anyway.  I like to create simple galleries and can no longer use flash because it is not supported with mobile devices.  I tried JB Lite and it seems to do a nice job, so I purchased JB Pro.  My next task is to try to embed the galleries into other pages.

I'm fairly new to JB and am impressed so far.

My latest work is at:  http://65.78.143.142/webcontent/holtzma … index.html , created with the Juice LR Plugin.

So far I can't find a better way to do this, any suggestions?
