 * I am trying to add captions to my thumbnails. I added this shortcode
    [ nggallery
   id=X template=caption ] to my page right after the gallery shortcode on my page.
   I then wrote something in the image description under manage gallery. Is this
   how it works? I couldn’t find anywhere that actually read “caption” to write.

 * NextGEN treats the Description as the Caption so that should have worked. Did
   it?
