For TTLJ visitors, not virtual gallery creators!

For you developers, it's all so easy and "obvious", because it's what you know.

Add a link to the gallery view that says, "First time visitor? Click here for a 
quick viewing tutorial".

Then explain how TTLJ is laid out and how a first time visitor can navigate a 
gallery for the most satisfying user experience. I'm fairly inquisitive, so I 
poke around a new site on my own until I figure out what works and what 
doesn't.

Most of my gallery "invitees", on the other hand, are afraid of breaking 
something and have no idea how to view the site without some help.  

Tell them:
How to access the single photo view, and how to get back.
How to link to an original on SmugMug (if the link is provided) and how to get 
back to TTLJ.
How to moved forward and backward thru the single image view to see all photos 
in the set.
etc.

That is very true -- thank you for suggestion!  We'll write the tutorial and 
place a link on the guest/visitor view.
