roni - not sure I follow

exactly what you're trying to do. If I'm following you correctly, though, here's how to do what you want to do (and if not you can dial me up in iChat and I'll see if I can help):

(1) Create your photo pages
(2) In the Site Organizer column (left-hand column), double-click on each page and re-name to suit your fancy (unless you really like "Photos", "Photos 2", "Photos 3", lol).
(3) Open the Inspector (bottom menu)
(4) In the Inspector, choose the Link Inspector (2nd icon in from the left)
(5) Uncheck the box for "Include Page in Navigation Menu"
(6) Do this for each of your Photo pages
(7) Create a new page (File => New Page)
(8) Choose the "About Me" template for the new page
(9) Click on and delete the stuff on the page so you've got a blank canvas
(10) Now, select 1 photo you'd like to represent each of your photo pages. Let's assume you've got 4 photo pages. Drag a copy of each of the 4 photos you've chosen as your representatives, onto your blank page.
(11) Insert => Text
(12) Repeat so you've got a text box for each picture
(13) In each text box write up a brief description of each photo page, then something like "click on photo to go to the full album"
(14) Almost done! Now click on one of the photos to select it and make it active.
(15) Back to the Inspector, choose the Linkmaker (the icon all the way to the right). Check the "Enable as a Hyperlink" box. Then use the pulldown menu for "Link to:" and select the corresponding photo page. Repeat for each of your album pages.

Voila! You are done. You've effectively created a single Photo gallery navigation page that leads to each of your (soon to be many) albums.

Also, let's assume you have a number of albums already up on HomePage. You can do the exact same thing to link to them, you'll just select "Link to: External Page", then type in the URL of your various photo pages.

Also, you don't have to use the "click on the photo" approach. You can just have text saying "CLICK HERE to go to xyz photos" and hyperlink the text instead.

Trust me, it will take you less time to do this than it took me to type up the instructions.

Good luck, and if I didn't get straight what it was you're trying to accomplish, catch me on iChat and I'll see if I can fix.
