Do a lot of your sales come from a particular kind of content? Using the "keywords" in your file data can help you - and your viewers - round up their favorite related content in a special gallery you can link to. Once you’re logged into your site as an administrator, you can use the site’s "Searches" feature to create a a custom link you can insert into your html anywhere you like.

For example, The State News at Michigan State frequently changes their front page graphic to link to special galleries. When the sports season changes, so does the graphic. The Gainesville Sun had one early this year that gathered pages related to the Florida Gators" national collegiate football championship. No national championship team? Don’t fret. With a little help from you, your local dog show or Kiwanis Convention can do pretty well too.

To do something like this, you just need to add a common keyword to the files you’d like to group together. You can do this when logged in an as an administrator using the "Manage" feature, but it’s faster to add them beforehand - or automate this process during the upload with a "scenario" file.* Of course, if you’re already adding keywords as a part of your archiving or file management, you can take advantage of the work you’ve already done.

* To learn more about scenario files, see the "Tech Help" postings. It’s a snap, and you can do it on the fly with special batches of files to be uploaded so that making a custom gallery is as easy as making a link for it!
