Hello everyone. As you have noticed by now, I am using a new premium theme (Lifestyle by StudioPress) and yesterday I spent about an hour installing, tweaking Dynamic Content Gallery plug in. I like it very much that I am writing this blog entry because that’s the least I can do for a cool plug in like this.
Well I thought in the beginning that this theme has a built in image slider but I just can’t find it. Finally I gave in and went to StudioPress support forum and found out that I have to install a plug in to have a slider. I downloaded the plug in at WordPress.org and installed it. I had to go through DCG settings to set it up right and then I checked my blog but no image, but only blank screen.
Found out that a couple of my plug ins, Socio Liquid and Light Box 2 were not compatible with DCG so I had to deactivate both. Now I think this blog got some life having a Dynamic Content Gallery running.
Here’s a complete run down (screen shots) of my set up for DCG. It’s pretty basic by the way.

After you do the configuration, you can try to edit some of your post to try it out. You need to put the url of the image on the Dynamic Content Gallery on the right pane. It won’t function unless there are two or more post with DCG.
So what do you think of DCG?

used tires (3)
car battery (2)

I guess I am too old for this because I cannot catch the point of the DCG. Anyway, I will try to download it and install it to see the result. Thanks!

Otherwise, you do want some color here and there, but you don’t want to overdo it. The majority of your page should be bland, with just a few things that pop out at the viewer, like the logo.
I do have DCG builtin but i can only display up to 5 posts under a single category.

Try to download this plug in. You can run up to 15 posts.

I’m sort of a minimalist so I think the less plugins the better. I usually try out those that have been tried and tested by majority of blogs. But I guess this is worth looking at.
Can the Dynamic Content Gallery plugin be used to create MANY DIFFERENT slideshows on many different pages of a wordpress site (I am wanting a different one for each section of my portfolio)? Thanks!!!
Also, if you’re using DCG as a sidebar widget, you can use Widget Logic to limit it’s appearance to only the home page and that sounds like it would take care of the issue for you.
