The trick is: Don't customize the Default site. Instead, create a new site in the Mura admin and customize it. In the blog post, I mentioned creating a site called MySite for this very reason. Mura uses eventHandler.cfc in the MySite/Includes folder, so the file won't get overwritten. Of course, if Mura fixes a bug, it also won't get updated. But, normally, this isn't a problem.

I just saved a copy of dsp_mailing_list_master.cfm into the custom folder, and Mura (5.2) detected and rendered that one instead of the original. So it seems that any code in the custom folder is run instead of the original code? Huh. Do you know why that is? Thanks. Wait a second!

I'm having fun learning about Mura. Won't an upgrade to Mura overwrite your custom code in the eventHandler.cfc file and cause your system to revert to the use of your original gallery? Thanks.

I keep telling people around here that the first person to write a book on Mura will make a lot of money. Have to bookmark this. Thanks Clarke.
