I dont want the news and images on the same page... I figured it would be news on one page and then you click a link to get to the gallery, When I do combi-news it looks kind of random images to me, how are they even sorted or displayed? I dont really get that either...
Okay I found what im looking for...
http://zenpage.maltem.de/zenpage-demo/
It has this on the right side:
Gallery
* album1 (10)
Why dont I have a "Gallery" thing on the right?

I believe that all your problems are theme-related. If you want it done right, you have to make it yourself (like I did). Everything you see from others has probably been customized. The zenpage-default theme is just a building point. The sidebar link was added later in the one you posted above, for example.
What you probably want to do is make a copy of index.php, rename the copy to gallery.php, and put the display albums php there.
The combi-news section is probably more for if you upload one picture at a time, so it displays the last few pictures uploaded.
Well, you would have to create that item in the sidebar. Again, you can build the theme to look however you want. You can't have a gallery link unless you have setup a gallery page. That can easily be done, but it is not done in the theme you have chosen.
You have two examples--the zenphoto-default theme and the Efferevescence+ theme. You can also look at http://photos.albeezie.com/ for a third approach.
Your confusing me even more. Aren't I using the same theme as the zenpage demo?
What do you mean by "You can't have a gallery link unless you have setup a gallery page."
If I manually type the link it works fine:

The only thing that is missing is the link itself... Why do I need to create a new "gallery page"?
