Links of Wordpress tips

Getting NextGen gallery to link to page, not itself. http://www.kimwoodbridge.com/how-to-link-nextgen-gallery-images-to-an-individual-page-or-post-in-wordpress/

or: jackplug which looks like it might be a better solution, since it makes an alternate template with corresponding shortcode. perhaps this wouldn't break on plugin update. I think I'll try this first, for my current client. It could be used along with the nextgen additional fields plugin I think, if I didnt' want to dedicate the alt-text to linking. I like that it seems to make it possible for to have both options available on a single site: a usual nextgen lightbox gallery, and a linking to page gallery.

 Here's a good looking gallery of larger thumbnails.

Here's an interesting edit for single image linking for NextGen, from the same site.
