  1. I put it in a table with a background image, (so it's over one photo in the show) for those without flash, like smrtphones, so they get a bit of content and not blank space.I put it in a table with a background image, (so it's over one photo in the show) for those without flash, like smrtphones, so they get a bit of content and not blank space.
