I am looking for an image gallery similar to the one they have on the joystiq blog, for example take a look at this post, it has the image gallery thumbnails at the bottom, and when you access the gallery it takes you to a deticated page with nothing but the image gallery and advertisements http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/27/thats-a-wrap-comic-con-2009/

here is what the gallery page looks like http://www.joystiq.com/photos/comic-con-2009-bioshock-2-is-real/2166557/

how would I go about doing this for my blog?
 
There is a plugin for wordpress that allows it to integrate with Gallery2... not exactly what you're looking for possibly, but a solution.

It allows you to integrate the gallery on a Wordpress Page, which keeps all of your theme styles consistent. If you want a separate, but similar, style for the gallery, create a new Page template in Wordpress just for the gallery.

Sorry but i really don't know much about this stuff, everything I have done to my blog so far I have just researched then copy/past into the right spot lol

What I want is exactly like the Joystiq photo galleries,

If you know how to do this and could help me out that would be great, I would even paypal you some $$$, I looked into Guru.com and most of the people have a minimum project cost of like $200 :(

Joystiq is part of Weblogs, Inc... which includes Engadget, Autoblog, TUAW... and is owned by AOL.

It's probably a custom coded photo gallery.

Hopefully there is something out there that could mimic it... but we're talking about a corporation that spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on design and architecture.

Either use one of the above suggestions, or code something yourself, that's pretty much what your options are.

The documentation for Wordpress is really good. I would suggest looking into creating custom page templates. Learning the basics for Wordpress will go a long way.
