In the link bar, click 'Photo Gallery' and from there you can add photos via the 'Upload Photos' link under the link bar to the right of the screen. To add an album, click 'My Albums' under the link bar to the left of the screen, or to see your uploads, click 'My Photos' next to 'My Albums'. :)

Also. We've found out that the max number you can upload at a time is 3, so don't list more than that. Good luck.

That's a very nice yard, did you buy the house with the patio/wall like that, or did you hire a contractor/DIY it?

Thanks for the compliments......
Im a contractor/Architect so i did it all myself... Lots of Blood sweet & tears went into that yard.... I'll post some before and progress pic's so you all can see the transformation.

Ok... so i posted from beginning to the end of my year long project... The first pic's i posted was about another year later after every thing grew like crazy. The yard has been done for about 4 years.

Oh, very cool. I can only hope that someday I will have a big enough backyard to do something like that. DIY is so simple, it's a shame so few people do it. I hand-chiseled a mailbox planter this year! Pics in my gallery after I submit this.

Hi Guys :). If anyone is interested, I created a "Guide to Photos", last night, that leads a user step-by-step to creating a photo gallery & using the photos in posts.
If interested, just PM me & I'll forward a copy.

BTW, I learned the hard way that if your uploading roughly 3500 x 2500 px photos, the system will only accept one at a time on "Upload/Submit". I prefer to work that way since it lets me add the title & description for each pic as I go.
However, Lorax knows of a way to upload a whole stack of photos in a "batch" process.

Not sure if I would quite agree with that, the website can accept as many as the form allows, currently 5 at a time. If it conked out on you, perhaps the images were too big, perhaps there was a network error, perhaps your connection speed wasnt fast enough, could be a few things. I'm not saying it didnt happen to you, but this is not a common problem.

Also, if anyone ever has upload problems, its sometimes because they forget to click the Process button on the second step. Just getting them onto the page where you can see the thumbnails and fill in their details etc is not sufficient to have them posted. You need to click Process on that second step to finalize your upload.
I agree that can perhaps be improved and is on our wish list.
