Is it possible to center odd galleries?

What I mean is this, I have 7 galleries inside another : http://www.pbase.com/lord_of_the_badgers/mendips

i would like to center the 'straggler' - the 7th gallery, or if it was two left over, proportionally space them, centered.

any ideas?

Hi!
I´m having the same "problem".. I´´ve discover a special technique that can be seen in arjunc home page:

I´ve try it as in an example to understand how it works (http://www.pbase.com/matiasasun/logos) in a "testing gallery" I´ve created. It basically works by inserting a TABLE into the HTML code of the page (in the description field). You should be able to understand it by seen the Page Code.

Obviosly it is no a great solution, specially when the gallery is frecuently updated... but, it´s all I have right now.

I Hope it works for you :roll:

thanks, i have seen arjun's gallery - however, i'm thinking it's not possible to do what i really want, so now i stick to two or one column layouts pretty much...

however, thankyou!

I think it Means this gallery display:

:arrow: :idea: :arrow: :idea: :arrow: :idea:
:arrow: :idea: :arrow: :idea: :arrow: :idea:
:arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :idea: :arrow: :arrow:

(where :arrow: Means an empty space and
:idea: means a thumb of a gallery)

Right?.. The last one (7th) should stay in the center (the middle column).

Ah, I see.
That could also be done by including "dummy" galleries in the page with a blank image being its 'representative' around the 7th gallery. But yes, it would look funny moving the mouse over those empty spaces and seeing the background change when you dont really see anything in the first place ;-) (that is, if your CSS uses the hover feature to add a border or change colors)
