It would depend where the content comes from - is it articles or a folder of images?

Probably afolder of images because this would be my portfolio. With several gallery pages. One for direct mail samples, one for website designs, logos, ads etc...

So you will need to set the count (number of items you need to show) and what happens when the image is clicked e.g. probably lightbox in your case

Then the content source - e.g directory

Together with the layout type - commonly if its a gallery it will be a grid

The folder source needs to be selected

The name divider settings are here - if you want to name the files these are what you need to work

If uploading via ftp + are fine if via media manager I'd suggest using _

Grid settings - these will depend on your styling preferences

The next two tabs depend of your preferences and content really so I'd experiment with these two tabs

When working with zentools its left to right tab wise

If you want to load the article in a page rather than a module position then you need to use loadposition - there is more information here

on that
