You can define overall template width as well as widths of the left hand side and the right hand side columns with modules. All of this is done very easily in the template configuration. Main content area will be calculated to fit best between the left hand side and the right hand side column, no matter what values you entered for them. Also, if you don't have left or right modules published on certain pages, main content area will occupy their space.

<img src="images/stories/sample_small.jpg" border="0" width="200" height="152" />
</a>

- Create a new paragraph and assign "gallery" ID to it
- Make an unordered list
- Insert thumbnail image inside every list element
- Link each thumbnail image with full-size image
- You are done!
HTML view should look close to this example:
<p id="gallery">
<ul>

Reflection Effect
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 18 January 2011 11:04
We integrated reflection script with this template. So, you can add reflection to your images without editing them in Photoshop.
Beside that, you have full control over the reflection height and opacity.
How to add reflection effect to the picture
Add class="reflect" to any image you'd like to have reflection effect, and you are done!
To control the effect's height, use class="reflect rheight25". In this case, height of the reflection will be 25% of the image height. You can also, control opacity of the reflection. Use class="reflect ropacity60" and opacity will be set to 60%. You can also combine height and opacity, in example class="reflect rheight25 ropacity60".
<img class="reflect ropacity60 rheight25" src="images/stories/demo/reflection.jpg" alt="reflection effect">
