Did you know that every KBK Connect site includes an easy-to-use image gallery? Simply create a new page or post. Click on the “Add an Image” icon next to “Upload/Insert”. Upload as many images as desired, then just close the uploader window. Add the following tag “[ gallery ]” (without spaces or quotes) into the content.

This will display all the uploaded images as neat thumbnails. When clicked, a larger version of the image is presented. You can configure the sizes of the thumbnails and larger images via Dashboard > Settings > Media.
