I created a new chunk with the rel tag as posted above, then used
[[!Gallery? &album=`Gallery` &thumbTpl=`galleryThumb`]]
and the chunk is named galleryThumb, and once again that makes the gallery code disappear from my page.
As for the second part of your response, when I save
[[!Gallery? &album=`Gallery` &thumbTpl=`galleryThumb`]]
on my page, it saves properly and is there when i return to the page.
however, if i make the page
<h2>2009</h2>
[[!Gallery? &album=`Gallery` &thumbTpl=`galleryThumb` &tag=`2009`]]
then save, it appears to save, then when i return to the page, it reverts back to the code that was there before the change.
I’ve tried clearing the cache, and logging out and back in, with no results
