 * Edit the Portfolio page.
    Select Add Media Use Upload file to upload the images
   you want to use. Then select Create Gallery and select the uploaded images that
   you want in the gallery. Once you have finished, select Create Gallery followed
   by Insert Gallery.

 * Esmi,
    thanks for the help. I followed your tips and created the gallery. when
   I clicked on ‘view page’ to preview what I had done, I got a blank page with 
   the message ‘nothing found’.
 * what have I missed?

 * Did you remember to insert the gallery once you’d created it?

 * Oh yes,
    the ‘edit page’ showed the camera thingy which I guess means it has 
   been inserted.

 * Yes – that’s correct. What happens if you publish/update the page and then view
   the final page on the front end?

 * My site is live, so I was hoping I could get the galleries/portfolio ready before
   putting it online.
 * I just did a test. I created a new gallery page, completely independent of my
   portfolio page. That one worked fine. The problem must be with the portfolio 
   page – maybe because it is not live yet.
 * If I can’t get the portfolio to work I will just create the galleries as separate
   pages and go with that.
    thanks for your help Esmi.

 * Yes – the thumbnails are generated using the images dimensions you set in Settings-
   > Media. However changing those dimensions now will only affect future image 
   uploads. To amend existing thumbnails, you’ll also need to use [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)
