Re: newbie, would like to know about "embed" [SOLVED]

The embed code is required only if you want to insert the gallery into an existing web page alongside other content.

If all you want to do is display a gallery on a web page of its own, then just upload the complete gallery folder to your web server (using an FTP program such as Filezilla) and view the 'index.html' file (directly inside the gallery folder) in a browser.

If you want to create a link to a gallery (on a web page of its own), then, again, upload the complete gallery folder to your web server and link to the 'index.html' file (using an HTML <a> tag). For example:

<a href="http://www.example.com/galleries/gallery_folder/index.html">Click here to view gallery.</a>

If you want to insert the gallery into an existing web page alongside other content, then:
(1) Upload the content of the gallery folder to the directory containing the embedding web page.
(2) Add the embed code to the web page wherever you want the gallery to appear.

For reference (and others reading this thread), full instructions can be found in the Embedding Guide.

I hope this helps to clarify things a little for you.
