 * Hi – I have version 2.1.0 of NextGEN Gallery installed. My site is not published
   so I am not sharing a link to it. I have no experience using WordPress and am
   struggling with two very basic things. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
 * First – I have created two galleries but don’t know how to change the code to
   get them both to display because I don’t know how to find the “IDs” for each 
   of them. I am displaying one of them twice as a placeholder – here is what the
   code for the webpage looks like:
 * <h4>Our commercial projects:</h4>
    <img class=”ngg_displayed_gallery mceItem”
   src=”[http://xxx.com/index.php/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–65&#8243](http://xxx.com/index.php/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–65&#8243);
   alt=”” data-mce-placeholder=”1″ /> <h4>Our residential projects:</h4>   <img 
   class=”ngg_displayed_gallery mceItem” src=”[http://xxx.com/index.php/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–65&#8243](http://xxx.com/index.php/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–65&#8243);
   alt=”” data-mce-placeholder=”1″ />
 * So obviously, the one gallery is ID 65 but I don’t know where to find the ID 
   for the second gallery so I can change the ID in the code … can you please help
   me with the navigation to find out the ID for the second gallery? (I’m going 
   to add a third one soon too!)
 * My second question is that I would like the galleries to show as slideshows instead
   of “pictures with back and next under them” making the visitor have to scroll
   through them. all. I know this can be done but have no idea where to start! Even
   if you could point me to a tutorial, that would be of great assistance.
 * Thank you!

 * I resolved both issues by referring to [http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/insert-gallery-window-vs-dashboard-interface/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/insert-gallery-window-vs-dashboard-interface/).
   So simple I just didn’t see it at first!
