Pics.txt

I'm a newbie, I've got the slide show on my web site, and it's working
fine. The problem is when I try to add the pics.txt file to my site,
it only shows the pics I list and I put a description in for. Do all
of the pictures in the directory have to be entered into the pics.txt
file? I would also like to have the picture descrition show in a
larger font because it's almost too small to read, and it looks faded
like it's hidden.
Here's is my site and my pics.txt file

"Do all of the pictures in the directory have to be entered into the
pics.txt file?"

Short answer, yes.
Long answer yes, but you can list them without having a description by
doing something like this:
bluap08.jpg;AppleFestival
bluap082.jpg;
bluesto2.jpg;
bluestomadeup.jpg;Description

You could also use php readdir to get php to list all the files (see

"I would also like to have the picture descrition show in a larger
font because it's almost too small to read, and it looks faded like
it's hidden."

You'll need to add css to your template.html something like this:

<span class="pic_title"> <IMAGE_TITLE></span>

then in your css
pic_title {font-size: 20px;
...}

Sorry for the dumb question, everything is working OK, thank you!

Since I didn't know how to deal with problem I was having concerning
the pics.txt file, I downloaded an Exif editing program and added an
exif comment to each photo and it's working fine now without a
pics.txt file.
What do you think was happening when the pics.txt file would not work
right?
