jekyll-photo-gallery

Simple solution to display photos on Jekyll sites I uploaded this layout because I couldn't find anything good when Googling.

Usage

Step 1:

• Clone/ copy both photo_page.html and photoboard.md files
• Place photo_page.html in your _layouts folder, photoboard.md in your working directory

Step 2:

• Make new folder named images

Step 3:

• Within images, make 5 subfolders named column1->5

Step 4:

• Add photos to those 5 subfolders.
• Images in each of those folders will make a column.

Portability

This method requires no outside plugins; therefore, compatible with any Jekyll project. You can also add your CSS easily.

Demo

Weaknesses

• Since the 5 columns are independently stored, there is a chance photos can be repeated without you knowing. Storing all the images in one place then randomly distributing them to the subfolders may be a good strategy.
• Currently, the template isn't mobile-friendly. Will fix in the future.
• There are currently a few for loops through every photo on the site. Will try to combat in the future.
