Quick HTML Gallery - Dreamweaver

Quick Gallery is a free Dreamweaver extension. It quickly creates a gallery for your images using an HTML table format. What's nice about this extension is that you can add a text description for each image. If you know basic HTML you can add a header for your gallery. You can also apply style sheet elements to the table for a custom look. Examples of css styled galleries are used throughout this site. Thanks http://www.kaosweaver.com:)
