 * Ive been trying all night to work out why I cant set a specific width with the
   Masonry gallery – I have tried everything and unless theres a setting I cant 
   find … it just keeps locking in at a width of 320px, when I need it to set at
   500 … so I tried setting my thumbnails to 155, plus 30 buffer … thats just under
   500, but no go.
 * I have to use shortcodes, because for some reason I cant actually access the “
   insert gallery” selection, as all I get is a white screen and a bunch of errors
   in the consol .. I have even tried to set the width in the shortcode.

 * What am I doing wrong? Why cant I resize my Masonry to be the exact size that
   I want it to be, with it then being filled with thumbnails?
 * Have to say, the settings for this new nextgen are far from intuitive … and what
   is also up with the blank page screen when trying to add a gallery?
 * Argh. From one frustration to another =/
