    Hi.
    I am a photographer and want a very simple layout on my blog posts (and pages).
    Some text on the left – on the right a medium sized image that when clicked on displays a slideshow of a selection of images in a lightbox.

    I want it to be compact and simple.

    I have been messing around for some time with themes/gallery plugins etc but no luck so far.
    Anyone?

    Thanks
    Thor

    If you found a site/theme with the design layout closest to what you want then we can check what theme/plugin it used

    Hi, and thank you for your answer.
    This layout is mostly in my head at the moment.
    What I am after at this stage is the ability to let an image in a post be a placeholder that upon clicking displays a slideshow of selected images.
    Seems like plugins like nextgen gallery links via shortcode and those links do not work when applied to an image.
    The plugin defaults to showing preview of first image through the shortcode and I do not have enough control over how this (the first image/placeholder) displays on the post.
    For my use – the generated display is always to big. I want to control this.
    I hope this post helped to show what I am after.
