Create thumbnails
Create thumbnails with an image editing program. Thumbnails should be at least 70x70 pixels (larger thumbnail images will be cropped). Put all the thumbnails in the gallery folder. Thumbnails should be with different names from large images.
Edit images.xml
Open the file
images.xml with a text editor (Notepad, TextPad or some other text editor...). You will notice that the XML file has a special structure in order to describe the images in the gallery. All images are described with the following XML tags located between the <images> and </images> tags.
<pic>
<image>Location of the big image</image>
<thumbnail>Location of the thumbnail</thumbnail>
<caption>Description, title or name of the image</caption>

Here is a example of an actual image.
