Shozam generates in essence a self-contained Web site. You can integrate it by simply placing a link from your Web site pointing to the main gallery intro page.

If you have an existing site, it is recommended to upload the gallery in a separate Sub-directory, so the gallery files do not mix (or overwrite) your existing Web site files. You can create a new directory on your server and upload the gallery files in there by simply entering a Sub-directory name in the FTP upload preset.

You would then link from your Web site to http://www.mydomain.com/gallery/index.htm. This example link assumes your Web site is at "www.mydomain.com" and you have uploaded the gallery in a Sub-directory called "gallery". You can open the gallery into a new browser window or in the same window.

To integrate with your Web site's navigation (particularly important if you open the gallery within the same browser window), you can create a link in your gallery pointing back to your Web site. You can create links in Step 5, on the Link Tab. For even tighter integration, you can use the Theme Customization features in Step 4 to make the gallery have the same "look and feel" as the rest of your site. If you have a navigation bar that you use on your Web site, you can also place it on all your gallery pages by using the HTML Tab in Step 5.
