Create an album
Before you can upload images you must first create an album to place them in. To create an album click on 'Create/order my albums' and then 'New'. The words 'New Album' should appear in the input field. Overtype this with the name you would like to call the new album and then click the 'Apply modifications' button. Confirm you wish to apply the modifications and your new album is created. You may do this to create as many albums as you wish, e.g. Pond pics, Koi pics, etc. You may now upload images to your albums.


Adding images to albums

To add an image to an album that you have created first select 'Upload picture'. Select the album from the drop down list that you wish to place the image in. Click the browse button and you should be able to see the files on your computer. Navigate through the folders on your hard drive until you find the image you wish to upload and click 'Open'.Iif you wish you may add titles, descriptions and keywords to your images. Once you have completed the information you wish to click the 'Upload picture' button and the image will be uploaded and resized automatically.


Remember the image can be any size although the larger it is the longer the upload will take. If you have resized images already then it will make uploading images to your albums much quicker.


Deleting images
Images can easily be deleted if no longer required or if you are running out of storage space and do not wish to purchase some more.


Deleting individual images - To delete an image first login in and browse to the particular image that you wish to delete. Beneath the image you will find a 'Delete this picture' button. Simply select that and select ok on the confirmation dialogue and the image will be deleted.


Deleting complete albums - If appropriate you can delete complete albums of images. Browse to the page showing your albums. There is a delete button to the right of the album thumbnail. Select that and then 'ok' on the confirmation dialogue and the complete album and all it's contents will be deleted.
