I have developed personal website in Dreamweaver 4 and have created several web galleries in Photoshop Elements 6. How do I transfer to my website or should I link to Dreamweaver. Not certain about the way to set up folders in Dreamweaver for the albums. Thanks, I am certainly a newbie.

Following the pointers from and , a practical, low-risk approach is to treat a Photoshop Elements web gallery as a self-contained mini-site and import that folder into the Dreamweaver site structure. Defining the Dreamweaver local site first keeps links manageable and stops broken paths when publishing to the server.

Check the gallery output before publishing: open the gallery index in a text editor or Dreamweaver and confirm that image, CSS and script references are relative (not absolute file paths or hard-coded hostnames). If any paths need changing, a batch find-and-replace (Dreamweaver or a plain text editor) makes quick work of converting them to relative links. Keep every supporting file (images, css, js) in the same gallery folder so the gallery remains portable.

Preview the gallery from the local site root in a browser to validate behavior. Common issues to look for: missing CSS/JS (layout broken), images not appearing (path/case-sensitivity on Unix hosts), and 403/permission errors after upload (set files to readable). When uploading, transfer the entire gallery folder (all HTML plus subfolders) so client-side scripts and thumbnails stay with their HTML references.

For a cleaner long-term solution, consider editing the gallery CSS to match the site or migrating the images into a modern, responsive gallery script so layouts adapt to phones. If the aim is quick integration with minimal edits, keep the gallery folder inside the site and link to its index from the main navigation so the gallery behaves like any other section of the site.

Copy & paste created photo gallery to your website folder on your disk (the one declared by you in Dreamweaver) and check if all functionality works (some software packages love to create absolute path to created content instead of relative path)
