Update! Working Photo Galleries

Just a quick update on the state of the photo galleries. I’ve migrated away from hugo shortcode gallery to semi-current fork of hugo easy gallery. Since I have my site setup using hugo branch bundles, I needed to modify one of the shortcode files to point to the public folder instead of the static folder. It took me a while to figure out what folder it was pointing to but after that change everything seems to be working. I think this gallery system is slower loading than the last one I had used, and I have to create the thumbnails myself (which solved the problem of auto-generated gallery files being too long for Neocities), but for now its nice to browse around. If neocities ever fixes that bug maybe I’ll migrate back.
