### A) HTML Structure - top

This theme is a fixed layout with two columns (apart from the image gallery pages, which have a different html structure - you can see additional information for the gallery pages here). The left content is contained within a div with an id of "left_content" and the right content is contained within a div with an id of "right_content". Here is the general two column structure.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
      <!-- Header Metatags -->
      <!-- Main Stylesheet / Light Theme -->
      <!-- Modernizr JS Enables HTML5 Elements -->
    </head>
    <body>
      <div id="main">
        <!-- begin header -->
        <header>
          <div id="logo"><h1></h1></div>
          <nav>
            <!-- menu -->
          </nav>
        </header>
        <!-- end header -->
        <!-- begin content -->
        <div id="site_content">
          <div class="left_content"></div>
          <div class="right_content"></div>
        </div>
        <!-- end content -->
        <!-- begin footer -->
        <footer></footer>
        <!-- end footer -->
      </div>
      <!-- jQuery with plugins -->
      <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
          <!-- initialise sooperfish menu -->
          $('ul.sf-menu').sooperfish();
        });
      </script>
    </html>
    </body>

### G) Gallery Pages - top

There are three different styles of gallery pages with this template:

1. Image Fader with Caption (index.html)

   The first style, shown on the home page, is simply an image fader with transparent caption. The format for this image fader is shown below:

       <li><img width="950" height="450" src="images/image_name.jpg" alt="'You can put a description of the image here if you like, or anything else if you want.'" /></li>

   To add an image to the image fader simply add a new list item (li) to the unordered list (ul) with class="slideshow". You need to specify the width of the image, the height of the image and the src. If you would like a caption to slide in, simply add alt="caption". If you would like the image to hyperlink to one of your portfolio pages, simply add an <a></a> around the <img> tag .

   NOTE: Remember to put 'class="show"' on the first <li> in the list, so that the image fader knows which one to start with.

2. Galleriffic Two Column Gallery (portfolio_one.html)

   The second style, shown on the portfolio_one page, uses the Galleriffic jQuery plugin for 'rendering rich, fast-performing photo galleries'. It is quite simple to set-up your Galleriffic gallery: To add an image to the gallery simply resize your main image (450px x 450px) and create a thumbnail for this image (75px x 75px). Then add the following list item (li) into the unordered list (ul) with class="thumbs noscript":

       <li>
         <a class="thumb" href="images/portfolio_one/main_image.jpg"><img src="images/portfolio_one/main_image_thumbnail.jpg" alt="one" /></a>
         <div class="caption">
           <div class="image-title portfolio_one">"Image caption goes here"</div>
         </div>
       </li>

   where href equals your main image (450px x 450px) and img src equals your thumbnail image. Within the img tag, you should put an 'alt' for your image. If you want a caption for your image, simply include the 'div class="caption"' section and add your image caption within the "Image caption goes here" part.

   NOTE: There are lots of settings for the Galleriffic Photo Viewer. These settings are passed in when the galleriffic gallery is initialised (within the portfolio_one.html). The settings are optimised for the portfolio_one gallery, but can be changed if required. A description for these settings can be seen here.

3. Galleriffic One Column Gallery (portfolio_two.html)

   The third style, shown on the portfolio_two page, uses the Galleriffic jQuery plugin for 'rendering rich, fast-performing photo galleries'. It is quite simple to set-up your Galleriffic gallery: To add an image to the gallery simply resize your main image (950px x 450px) and create a thumbnail for this image (75px x 75px). Then add the following list item (li) into the unordered list (ul) with class="thumbs noscript":

       <li>
         <a class="thumb" href="images/portfolio_one/main_image.jpg"><img src="images/portfolio_one/main_image_thumbnail.jpg" alt="one" /></a>
         <div class="caption">
           <div class="image-title portfolio_two">"Image caption goes here"</div>
         </div>
       </li>

   where href equals your main image (950px x 450px) and img src equals your thumbnail image. Within the img tag, you should put an 'alt' for your image. If you want a caption for your image, simply include the 'div class="caption"' section and add your image caption within the "Image caption goes here" part.

   NOTE: There are lots of settings for the Galleriffic Photo Viewer. These settings are passed in when the galleriffic gallery is initialised (within the portfolio_two.html). The settings are optimised for the portfolio_two gallery, but can be changed if required. A description for these settings can be seen here.
