 * Hello, I am new to Word Press and recently purchased the Black Canvas theme from
   StudioPress. I am trying to create a photo gallery site to display my images.
   But, I am having some issues with getting the galleries(changed the name of “
   categories” or galleries) to display the way I would like them to.
 * Is there a way to change the way the thumbnails work. Currently when you click
   on the thumbnails it directs you to the post view. ([http://ecsphoto.com/wordpress/?p=111](http://ecsphoto.com/wordpress/?p=111))
 * What I would like to happen is that when you click on a thumbnail, you are directed
   to what appears to be the category page. ([http://ecsphoto.com/wordpress/?cat=8](http://ecsphoto.com/wordpress/?cat=8))
 * The reason I am interested in this is so that it continues to display the next
   page>> and what category the image is filed under.
 * Is this possible??? I have been told that you need to write a custom PHP function
   to make this happen. So, I guess I am seeing if there is someone out there that
   has already done something similar. Or found a work-around.
 * I would appreciate any help you can give!
