Adding your photos to the Gallery

Hi All, a couple of folks have enquired how to do this. You're all welcome to post photos here: anyone who has been checked off (it's a manual process, by me) as a faerie can do it. (can you say spam?)

 Easy, but not particularly intuitive...the price of an understated interface.

Here goes

  • Log in, you'll see your name in the left navigation area.
  • Click on the Gallery link at the top of the page to go to the gallery
    • Click on the right down arrow icon and choose Add Album

               

  • Fill out the form with Name, title, etc. Note that Name should be lower case letters only, no spaces nor puncutaion.
  • Click the Create button at bottom.
  • When the page refreshes, you'll see Options to the left. It will look like this:
    • Choose Add Items
  • Hee you have several choices.
    • If you're only adding a couple of photos, you can just use the form that's right there.
    • If you want to go ahead and add a bunch, I recommend scrolling the page to the right and choosing Upload Apple
      • You'll get a warning box, see below. Click OK. (I think that this only happens the first time).
      • It will take a few secs.
  • You'll get a divided window with Add Pictures and Upload buttons below
    • Either drag and drop your photos to the left side
    • Or Hit the Add Pictures button and find em
  • Once you have your list of photos to upload showing in the left side,
    • If you're feeling fancy, you can enter a caption for each image
      • Click on it on the left side, you'll get a caption of the filename on the right side
      • Edit/replace the caption
      • Go to the next one
  • here'show it might look
  •  
    • Once you're done,  hit Upload to send the photos to the web site.
    • If your photos are large, you may want to check the 'resize before upload' box; the photos will then be made smaller before uploading.
    • You'll get a status box and progress thingy, it takes a while.
  • That's it.
  • Any questions contact me and I'll walk you through.
