Page 1 of 4 Here I will try to help those wishing to add photos to our photo gallery.
*Note: you will not be able to upload any images unless you are an "Author". If you get a message about permissions, let me know and I will change it for you.

Ok, the first thing you'll have to do is make sure your photos are 'resized for the web'. Basically, this lowers the size and quality of your photo somewhat so that the file does not take a long time for others to view. There should be an option for this in the photo software that came with your camera. If you do not have that or Photoshop, there are free programs that will do this for you.
This link should give you instructions on that part. The maximum height or width on this site is 800px. After your pictures are resized, you can move on to getting them on the site.
  *** Very important! Please ensure that you not only lower the quality, but change the dimensions of the image. As an example, the default dimensions for images on my camera is 2304 X 1728 - Great for printing, but much larger than most computer screens. When resized to 800 X 600 it still looks great on the computer screen but takes up much less file space.***
- Click on the Upload Pictures link in the menu on the left.
- You will see two icons: Gallery Manager and Media
Manager.
- If this is your first time, click on Gallery Manager to
create a new gallery.
- A gallery is like a folder that holds your images seperate from other
user's pictures. You can also have a gallery within a gallery. An example
would be "Johnson Pictures -> Lael's Pictures" and "Johnson
Pictures -> Lori's Pictures" where "Johnson Pictures"
is the first gallery, and both Lael and Lori have their pictures in a
seperate gallery after you enter "Johnson Pictures". Alternatively,
you can just hold all your pictures in one gallery.
