There's something up. Run your mouse slowly up from the bottom of the left image to the top and it will be clickable and enlarge.
You have two images on top of each other on the left. Delete the one that you added uses the add image tool. So it would be the one that you can see on your design screen without previewing.:) Leave the html box alone.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Oh, Roly, I just copied and pasted this code and removed what was there (which was the same thing), but still it does not enlarge. :(

I think it's WORKING!!! OMG, thank you. I can't believe this ride, but it was worth it. And, you're right, I did learn a lot.

One more question, please:

Do I list all the images in one HTML box or do I have to have individual boxes?

I would use individual html boxes so you can place each one where you want it.:)

Sounds good.

Roly, have you ever used the Slideshow example in Colorbox? Just wondering if that would give me what I'm looking for. Right now, I would like for the photos to just scroll, but if that's not possible, I would like to at least get the numbers and the left and right arrows as they show on Example 1.

Yes to have a slide show with more images you need to change the script code that is at the head of the page.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".example1").colorbox({rel:'slideshow1', slideshow:true});
});
</script>

Next you'll need to add the rel refrence to you image links to group photos to a slide show. rel="slideshow1" add this to each image link.
<a href="http://www.dianebuster.com/colorbox/images/colorado_fields.jpg" class="example1" rel="slideshow1" title="Colorado Fields, 18x36, oil"><img src="http://www.dianebuster.com/colorbox/images/colorado_fields_thumbnail.jpg" /></a>

Well, guess what? I think I'm in business. My gallery is working. There are things that need repair and I don't know how to fix them...like the captions on some of the photos...the text is too large and runs into the words "Image __ of __ ". Do you know how to adjust the font on this?

Roly, I can't thank you enough for all your help! You're just fabulous.... :)

Looks good Ruby,
Happy you got it working.
I think the easiest thing to do to get that text spread apart would be to increase the image size of the images appearing in the colorbox window. There's plenty of room for the enlargement.:)

Ruby not to burst bubbles or anything and your making terrific progress with it, but... the gallery is way too fast, I'm using Chrome and all it's doing is short of flashing the images up. It doesn't give the user a choice either of which image they want to view before it disappears.
