Then all the other sites linked on that dropdown menu.
That is the primary domain…it is NOT fully upgraded due to how critical it is and I didn’t want to break it.
The others, however, are fully installed from scratch with the new version AND the responsive theme that was provided nearly two years ago on here.
I have only made a few slight modifications to it for banner advertising.
I hope to be back on it actively in the coming months.

I guess I didn't make it clear: in order for a Gallery 3 page to display "fluid" and have columns fit the screen automatically depending on what size the screen is -- and covert to a "responsive" 3-bar navigation *will* actually require going the whole hog and revising the core code. No way to do it partially.

Chris,
This is working well, but I see a significant problem with this implementation: You are only displaying 4 images per page -- or 4 "category" albums" per page -- whether I am viewing on a full size computer screen or a 300 pixel-wide smartphone. This may be fine for people using an really old small smartphone, but for those with larger screens (not to mention those with full-size laptop and computer screens having to click through 10 pages to view the first 40 images isn't a great user experience. A truly responsive implementation makes the most use of available screen real estate -- at any size screen. Difficult to achieve, but the trend even among mobile devices is toward larger screens.

Adrian,
Thanks for mentioning the clean canvas wide theme... I've always used GreyDragon, but have been meaning to give CCwide a look.
But here's the thing: One of the "religious beliefs" of "responsive" design -- which I do not agree with -- is that the *only* scrolling a viewer should have to do is up and down vertical scrolling. Horizontal scrolling is blasphemy in the "mobile friendly" world. This is because mobile phone users are lazy and only want to have to swipe up or down (unless they're looking through their selfie photo collection, of course). Still, that's the design mantra which entire internet industry bought into and for now we're stuck with it. Another religious belief is that a user should never have to turn their smartphone sideways to see a wider page with more information on it unless they feel like it. Even though all smartphones for the past 10 years have had the ability automatically resize web pages depending on if the viewer was holding the phone vertically or horizontally.
In my humble opinion as a paid published graphic designer in print, video and web pages for the past 3 decades, the mandate issued about 4 years ago by Google that all websites have to be "mobile friendly" if they want to get good search engine placement has set web site design and functionality back 20 years.

I only display the 4 images because I am going for click-throughs…not display. Let me change it to a larger number on one of the domains real quick…(logs in…paused while he does this…)…back…
Ok…I changed RandomDailyMemes.com to a 12 images/album per page. Ran it in simulation for Iphone and Ipad Pro…moves and mixes with the device…scales nicely…
Actually looks quite nice. I might kick like 3 of the 6 over and watch the traffic variances…with new adsense methods via google I can do a little less custom and let their placement algorithms work their magic…
Gallery is working out very good for this so far…glad I never abandoned it…J
Please let me know what you see.
Thanks!!
Chris

Chris,
Oh yeah, not only does
it now look better on a large computer monitor, but I can now
see that it does in fact "scale elegantly" as I resize my
window from 300-pixel-wide small smartphone up through various
size screens to full size computer. Nice job.
Your customization does seem to be what so many gallery users have been asking for. Any chance of you making the theme available to others -- or does it involve some heavy tweaking to the Gallery code itself?

Yeah…I have been pretty impressed with the results from my end for my purposes.
I am always looking to improve though….:)

That is the one that was provided by the one guy last year…or wow…maybe two years now…lol…
There are a few bugs that he never helped me work out for my purposes, but I will get a list of my changes together.
I can also note that with that change and no others the three domains that I have changed to the 12 oer page are performing better in traffic…slight uptick, but actualy revenue increase on RandomDailyMemes.com in the last 24 hours.
Spikes are a good thing in my game…J

Chris,
Both Google bots and Users like content. By having so many sub-albums (places to click thru to) now displaying on your Main Album "Home Page" you are immediately showing that there is a lot of content in your site -- and that not only makes the bots happy, but also encourages more people to think "Hey... looks like there's lot of stuff here... I think I'll click on a couple of things and see what's up..."

Adrian,
That sounds very interesting -- I would really love to see your version of the iMobile theme if possible.
