Photo Galleries Firstly, it is important to mention that the biggest image you can upload to the site is 300kb in size. You can reduce it further and manipulate it once it has been uploaded, but it can't be any bigger than this. If you try,  you will get a message saying that it has failed. The reason for this is simple - there is no reason to upload a 5mb image from a CD or digital camera, if you want it to look smaller or to fit on a page. It would take ages to load and take up excessive web space. Images need to be in .jpg, .jpeg or .gif formats. If you don't have the necesary package to resize or reformat images, you need to use one. Paint Shop Pro is very good, or you can download something like Batch Image Resizer. There is also a site called PIXLR.COM that enables you to re-size images on-line. Once you have grasped the sizing aspects, you are now ready to upload images to the site.   In your site you will see that we have already set up a hidden page called Site Images [in some sites this might be found under "Admin"]. In this page, you will see an album called "site images" or "general site images". Click on this and you'll see any images that have already been uploaded to this album, and at the foot of the album you will see a link to "upload images" or "edit album information." We suggest that you use this album to upload any "all purpose" images, such as logos, ad hoc images etc. If the images are for a specific event or for a specific section of your site and there might be a lot of them and you want to organise your images better, we suggest that you create another album by clicking on "Add Album", calling it something relevant, and uploading the images this new Album. This is especially important if you want to create a slideshow, as this will ONLY play the images you upload to a specific album. You upload images by clicking on "Upload Photos", browsing your hard drive and then clicking Open. Add images one at a time and then click on Upload [you can upload up to ten at a time]. Once they are in the album, you can do a number of things with them. You can move them up or down in terms of their running order in album view or slideshow view. You can give them titles and descriptions, and you can open them up full size by clicking on the thumbnails. You can choose a Photo Gallery section to use on a page and can then choose the specific album you want to use, and you can select "Album View" or Slideshow View". "Album View" will display the images as thumbnails, whilst "Slideshow View" will display them as a slideshow with the thumbnails underneath. Experiment!

1] Image set left or right in amongst text [text wrapped]
This describes how you'd place an image right or left in amongst text in an HTML3 section].

Firstly, remember that you can only choose images that you have already uploaded to an album. If you have not already uploaded the image you want to use, you will need to refer to the "Photo Galleries" section above before continuing.

On the basis that you have already uploaded the image you want to use, now go to the page you want to use the image on.

Click on "Edit Section" and then click your mouse at the beginning of the paragraph where you want the image to appear. Then click on the Insert/Edit Image icon [the green tree] in the control panel at the top of the section you are editing [see above], then click on the browse icon [the little red dots on a white background], and choose the relevant album containing the photo/image you want to use. Then, tick the box underneath the image and click Select on the left hand side.

The image will now appear in the window. Now, click on Appearance and reduce its width by clicking in the first box [the height in the second box will change automatically so it will maintain its ratio]. If your image is currently 800 pixels wide, trying changing it to 350 pixels wide. Then put 10 in both horizontal and vertical boxes [that's the amount of white space in pixels terms between the end of the text and the image]. Click on Alignment, and use the drop down menu to set the image left or right.

Click Update. You can give the image a title and/or description if you want to, but you don't have to! and then OK.

NB: Remember to click save at the foot of the section or your changes will not take effect. 

2] A Photo Album Slideshow with thumbnails underneath
Once you have added images to the relevant Photo Album in your Site Images page,  you can go to any page and add a new Photo Gallery section and choose this specific album to be viewed from this page.

Select "Album View" or Slideshow View".

"Album View" will display the images as thumbnails, whilst "Slideshow View" will display them as a slideshow with the thumbnails underneath. Experiment!

This section can be added by itself or as a section on a page containing other content. If you go into "Edit Album Information" you can give each image a title and description, and you can move the order in which each image appears, and if you go to "Upload Photos", you can upload more images and they will automatically appear in the album/slideshow.

3] Flash Slideshows
You can choose a slideshow section and can then choose which album you want to play, the format, and the size of images to play. Because this is a basic Flash feature, if you add more images to the album that is playing the slideshow, or if you change the format of the slideshow, you will need to delete the section and remake it.
