I've got a set of photos that I'd like to display in a special design made just for that set. I don't need admin function or anything, but I'd like to be able to link to that album seamlessly from inside Zenphoto, just like any other album.

So my question is this: is there some way to make an album link displayed in the gallery into an external link going to some other web page?

You can add any html code to the description field.

EDIT: You mean a link that looks like an album but is external? Sorry, no, but what about switching a css file for an specific album?

Does that mean if I have a long description that I'd like as a separate page, I can use link and target to a _blank page?
another page will tell you more about this picture....

Yes, that is generally possible.

nuts; it was worth a shot. Thanks! :)
