FAQ
Q:Instead of making one page with 40 photos, is there no property to make 2 or more pages?
A:You can do it in the following way: <!-- Start VisualLightBox.com BODY section -->
1. Create your gallery in VisualLightBox and publish it on a local drive in any test folder.
2. Make two copies of the generated index.html file (for example index1.html and index2.html).
3. Open index.html, index1.html and index2.html files in any text editor.
4. Find code for the gallery inside the BODY tag and cut some part of the images, so you'll have different images on each page.
