short text introduction on first page of album

[krakelis]

I'm looking around for a modification that makes it possible to put a short written introduction on only the first page of every album. It should be different on every album. This is how I did when I was working with static HTML photo pages and I would like to have it back if possible. The nicest would be if the official album description could be shown here. I really have no idea if such a thing is technical possible. Did search the boards but not find anything till now.

To give an idea of what I used to have:
http://basdekker.eu/fotografie/fotografie-galerie-gebied-02.htm

It's just about the short paragraph that's under the title 'De Weerribben'.

Anyone suggestions?

Try to use MiniCMS plugin :

Another solution would be to use the hack that I created that truncates the album description on the album list pages (main page, album lists pages, etc) but shows the full description on the page that shows only that album. You can see what I mean by the full description here on the demo site. Then go to the home page to see the truncated version. This truncated version could be removed if you didn't want to see it but it's nice to give a very short intro to the album. If you like what you see, download that theme and check out the theme.php file. It's commented to show you what needs to be added to yours to get this feature.

Thanks to both of you for your reactions. I will take a closer look and see what suits me best.
