Cindy, batharoy — YES! It worked, like magic! This stuff is probably totally elementary to you, but to me it’s pure wizardry. I really appreciate your taking the time to offer this help.

Ok,sorry.

OK, never mind. I finally found it. The NextGen stylesheets are in this folder:

public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/css

Just in case anyone else is trying to figure the same thing out.

Hi. Thanks for replying.

I guess I didn’t ask my question clearly.

I already installed these fonts, which are from fontsquirrel. They are working beautifully on my site itself.

The way you install fonts is to put the font files (which you get from fontsquirrel’s font-generator) into the same folder as your stylesheet. Then you add additional styling to your css with @fontface.

So what I’m trying to figure out is: Where is the stylesheet for NextGen default styles? Once I know where that is, I can put the font files in the same folder.

Cool. I think I actually followed all that. I’ll give it a try later. Thank you so much for your explanation; I’m grateful.

OK, never mind, I found it. Nextgen options, gallery settings. oops.

Thanks, zeaks. The little border snippet you gave me is perfect.

Wow, thanks for the super-fast reply!

I mean the entire page area, the whole light-colored area.

So, I only have to add the border styling above to my child-theme stylesheet? I don’t have to do anything with template files?

Never mind. I just decided to keep on looking for another gallery plugin.

Sorry- I moved my post to hacks sub-topic, where it belongs.

Thank you for the replies.

In order to make sure I know what you mean:
esmi, since my main posts page (which is my blog) uses the index.php template, and will be unaffected by my custom page templates, then it sounds like what I need to do is create custom page templates for my static pages.

Here are my followup questions:
1) Can I create custom templates based on my current static pages, which are themselves based on my theme’s one-column layout? And
2) having done that, will I be able to successfully switch my theme option to two-column and add things like footers and widgets, for the purpose of having my post page look like a regular blog, without having any of those changes appear on my static pages?

And alchymyth: If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that I should choose the two-column option that 2011 theme offers? and then adjust my static page CSS to over-ride the two-column spacing so that it goes to the full width? My questions about this are:

1) Which part of the static page CSS do I re-write? What should the new version say, in order to give me the full-width page?
2) How do I keep widgets, footer, etc which I add to my posts page from showing up on the static pages?

My final general question is: is it better to just do a whole second installation of WordPress for my blog and just set it up from scratch, and link to it from my website?

Thanks for the input; I agree with you. The blog minimalism is largely due to my brain freeze at the end of setting up the website. I have to go back into the codex and figure out how to change the layout of posts in a blog which is a sub-part of a static-page website.

OK, I fixed it. I added three extra spaces to the end of each photo caption.

I agree, this feature is strongly needed. I’ve read the instructions in the Lightbox Plus settings about checking “do not auto-lightbox images” and then manually adding code to the URL of the photos that I WANT to use Lightbox, but I don’t understand how to actually add that code.

thanks so much, govpatel. I was just being an idiot; I had inadvertently zoomed in a bit on my browser screen. I’ve been doing this for too many hours. Sorry for the dimwitted post.
