I always believe that blogspot and wordpress are the easiest publishing platforms for everyone . And they can do any task a website base on other platform can do .
I go around some photo gallery websites ,some of them base on PHP and the others base on Flash . So I made this template in blogspot for everyone know that blogspot can do most of work others platform can do .
This template is named Simplex gallery .It's specific for gallery website .
