I haven't looked at any of the settings for it, but I had trouble getting to a thumbnail for the last one when I had the third one enlarged. But maybe it can be tweaked so that the each image shows in the center or underneath.

. I think it would be a nice way to display the images in place of the main image instead of in a pop up.

So I am using this galleria gallery for all my pages. I love the functionality, but I have a concern. I am now not using the description field for the products, or am using it very little because all my descriptions are in the captions for the photos. My concern is in the area of Search Engine Optimization. While this text is displayed on my page in a browser via Javascript, it is displayed to a search engine as an alt tag (and a bloated one for that matter) beacuse search engines do not read scripts. Does anyone know how this will effect rankings. I have HTML tags in the alt tags too. Will google look at a <p> .. </p> tag in an alt tag as a paragraph, or as somthing undesirable and confusing? Does anyone have a work around?

The 3 pieces slide together easily and  twist down tight to give you a completely rigid staff. We guarantee you will  not be able to tell the difference in rigidity between our breakdown staff and  a solid one-piece staff.  When disassembled, the ends work great as  torches. You get three tools in one! </p></div></div>

For some reason when I switched to the Ablecommerce site I lost all my Google rankings and I just attributed it to the alt tags. I was ranked in that top 5 on a lot of pages and then the all disappeared. Maybe it is just one of those little glitches that Google has and it will be back in a week or so. It could be that all my URLs changed from the old site and it does not attribute my backlinks any more. I forwarded all the old pages, but maybe Google is not happy with the change in URL.
