I have an old book I am using for background content on ArchitecturalMillwork.com. This was a book for architects and builders to use for ideas and it doesn't have the usual chapter structure of a book. I am new to WP so it is taking a while to figure out the best way to do things.
Today I discovered the gallery feature. Some parts of this "book" have an introductory article followed by a few to many pages of drawings with very little text. By using the gallery feature I can put the text from the interduction at the top of the post or page and then have all the pictures below that.
The system fails if you want to have text for each of the pictures. Then you will have to insert each one individually. It also looks like the database has no ability to link a photo for use in more than one place. Thus, if you want to use the same picture more than once you will have to upload it twice.
Fortunately, the uploads go quickly. That may be because I have the turbo feature (Google Gears) enabled and the images are being resized on the local machine before upload.
