This took a little digging for me to figure out so I thought I would help out anyone else that might not be able to figure this out. If you have a gallery of images on a wordpress page and want to include the title under each image you need to add the code:
template=caption
to the nextgen code:
nggallery id=10 template=caption
in your page or post. I had to leave off the opening [ and closing] brackets. WordPress kept saying the gallery was not found.
This will show the titles like I have on this granite colors page here.
Note: The only field that shows up from the gallery admin page is the Description.

I have had to look this up several times so I thought I would post it here in my blog for any other person looking to post blog summaries on a page in their blog. This can be quite handy if you want to post the last 5 post of a particular category on a single page. I manage a site that post webinar links and articles every week so this is very helpful.
Assuming you have created a specific page template and have given it a name you then need to have a category associated with the page. You do this by adding:
?php query_posts(‘category_name=recent_trades&showposts=20′); ?> ?
The category name is the name of the category slug you created in your post category name in wordpress. The show post is the number of post you want to show on the page. If you just add this code to the page then each entire post will show. This is not what I wanted so I had to make another change.
I located the function:
<?php the_content(); ?>
and changed it to:
<?php the_excerpt(‘Read more…’); ?>
This created a short excerpt for each post on the page. Very helpful if you want to add several short summaries on a page.
