In WordPress, you can use ‘Tiled Galleries’ (like shown below), which is a great way to publish, share, and view your work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to access tiled galleries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. If you own your own WordPress.org<\/a> site, install the ‘Jetpack<\/a>‘ plugin, then use the ‘Tiled Galleries’ function.<\/li>
  2. For wordpress.com<\/a>, ‘Tiled Galleries’ is a default option.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Why tiled galleries?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>
    \"\"<\/figure>
    \"sunset\"<\/figure><\/div>

    \"water<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    To me a tiled gallery is like a mash-up between a photo gallery, a photo collage — a more unique way to view your photos which is also more interactive, random, and interesting! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, the Tiled Gallery will automatically format your images to fit together seamlessly (you can also manually adjust it later). The biggest benefit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The interesting random pairing that Tiled Galleries sometimes does to showcase your work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Choosing the width<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    (Best displayed on desktop or laptop)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Another great thing about wordpress and blogging:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The ability to choose how wide you want to show your photos (normal, wide, or full width).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    For example this is normal width for tiled gallery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"selfie\"<\/figure><\/div>

    Screenshot your tiled gallery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Then another fun thing I will do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Take screenshots of the tiled galleries on my blog, and turn them into static images.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Screenshot 1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Screenshot 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I would have never thought about putting the photos together in this combination (randomly chosen by Tiled Gallery) — but they are fascinating to look at, and I love it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once again: using randomness is a POSITIVE benefit to our artistic innovation and creativity; being able to come up with new and novel ways to experience, show, and enjoy our own photos!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
