In reply to: Novice – websiteTrying to take this on yourself with no knowledge at all is a BIG JOB!!! You need to read and understand a bit about some basics before you do anything. WordPress certainly is alot easier than learning html coding, but unless you want to stick exactly to the template you have chosen, you are going to need to know how to create a child theme and edit the style.css
The basic wordpress gets you started, but you do need the additional plugins to make the site really function well.
The ones I always start with are:
Google Analytics ( You need to sign up with them first…it is free)
Google XML site map
Fast Secure Contact
Quick Admin
Google SEO by Yost
Content Manager
NextGen Galleryand others I use: Custom Post Order, Add to ANy Share Buttons and Back up WP AUTO.
Those are a good start for beginning.If you can, I really would suggest you search for someone who can build a basic site for you and then give you some instructions on how to use it. That is what I do for my local clients. They sit with me at their computer and I give them a tutorial. Very basic but enough to make it comfortable.
Good luck

In reply to: NextGen GalleryI believe you can create any number of different Galleries. Just go into the NExt Gen section on the dashboard / Manage / Add Gallery ..or similar..I am not looking at it right now. Create a different gallery and put your photos there. Then link to that gallery.

In reply to: What are some Sites I can get a Good Theme from?If you want really extravagent ones you will have to pay for them. Just do a Google search there are hundreds of sites.
You download the zip file. Extract to a folder and then put that under content / themes.
Better to create your own CHILD theme from it first so any changes you make aren’t overwritten by an upgrade.
