Please straighten me out on something here:
According to the documentation, Backlight supports the Location Lightroom metadata item, but not Sublocation. However, in Lightroom I can easily find the Sublocation entry window, while Location doesn't even appear if I try to edit the Metadata presets. Is this a typo? How do I find and add to the Location tag in Lightroom?

Hah! Guess what! {Location} is the Sublocation metadata item!!
I just added the {Location} token, republished, and the sublocation metadata appeared. Give it a go!
This is great, no more adding the sublocation data to the caption metadata field just so it will show up in my image captions.

OK cool, Rob! I've added the {Location} token to Thumbnails Metadata 02 under Image Metadata in the album template, added some information in the Sublocation metadata box in Lightroom, and saved and published the results. But I'm still not seeing Location showing up under the thumbnail.
I'm testing this out on the picture High Tide in http://creepyhouse.net/galleries/The-Da … he-Bosque/. Do I need to modify the custom css file for this to show?

Have you enabled "Display Metadata 02" under Metadata Display in Thumbnail Presentation?

I'm only seeing one metadata item in your source code, so I'd follow along with Rod's suggestion.
Also, looking at your code I noticed you've got some bad file naming going on. For example:
2015-04-25---Bosque-(1).jpg
2015-03-28---Bosque---Alameda-Blvd.-Bridge.jpg
Parentheses in the first, a period in the second. Using these characters in file names is not what we call "web safe", and may cause gallery functions to choke where scripts are unable to process the badly named files. Please give my article on file naming a read:
http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … ile_naming
And I should probably update and migrate that from the CE4 docs to Backlight's docs sometime soon.
