Can I add padding on the left side only when I click "ignore page layout completely?" I want it tight to the top but quite a ways over from the left edge . . .

Let me expand a bit more on what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a LOT (about 90) of pictures to put on my site and don't really want to pay to use an external picture hosting site to have them, nor do I want it to be "out of my control" -- I'm funny that way.

Anyway, I've tried two different methods of posting pictures on the site, here are examples of each. In this example, I sized them all to 600px wide and then posted the individual pictures on the page: http://www.ohs65.com/25-year-reunion-cruise.html

In this one, I used the image widget which is a bit more flexible, but given their varying heights, the pictures tend to "jump around" on the page as you are viewing them, which I don't like: http://www.ohs65.com/Snowbasin-Dinner-2.html . So, I'm wondering about getting them on a page that will let them be closer to the top of the screen so you don't sometimes have to scroll a bit after the pictures "jump." If I used page settings, advanced, it moves everything up but also makes it wider than I like. If I try to narrow the page, it adds padding on all sides apparently. That's why I'm wondering if I can just add padding on the left side.

Given how difficult it is to find pictures in the picture gallery on XSP, it's probably not much more work to do it either way. Any suggestions?

Wow, Jason, that's just what I'd like to do, but you didn't do it with XSP did you?

Hi Steve,

yes that's 100% XSP.

I will make you a short video on how I did it.

Jason, you are the greatest! That is wonderful & I REALLY appreciate you doing a custom video to show me how to do it. If you're ever coming through Mesquite, Nevada on I-15 (in the winter months), let me know & I'll buy you a drink!

Steve

Jason -- when I'm doing this with the lightbox widget, are there any pros/cons to putting a large number of photos on one page? Would I be better to split them into multiple pages?

If you want to split them up into groups, you may want to think about putting them into different pages.
