How do I add a photo gallery to my site?

Photo galleries are collections of similar photographs. For instance, your website could have galleries of pictures of your restaurant, your members, your events, and anything else you want. This is where "freeform" photograps can go.

Before you add photos, you must first create a gallery to contain them. To add a new photo gallery:

Choose the Photo Gallery item of your site's Content menu.
Click the "Add Gallery" button at the top of this page.
Select a name (ie, "Our Photos") and a description (ie, "Photographs of the inside and outside of our building") for the gallery.
If you'd like to have this gallery on your front page, click the "Add to Block List" checkbox, then use the Front-Page Layout item of your site's Content & Layout menu to place the module on your front page.
Click "Add Gallery".
You'll be taken to your new gallery. Continue instructions below.

How do I add photographs to my galleries?

Once you've created some galleries to place your photos into, follow these steps:

Choose the Photo Gallery item of your site's Content menu.
Click on the gallery where you'd like your photos to go.
Click on the "Add Photos" button at the top of this page.
From here, you can upload a number of photos at once. Keep this number small if you're on a slow connection or are using large photos.
For each photo to upload:
- Click the "Browse" button.
- Locate your photograph on your hard drive. It must be in either .JPG or .GIF format. Click "Open" in the box when you're finished.
- Give the photo a short Caption (ie, "Terry Brown"), and an optional longer description (ie, "Terry smiles for the camera").
Click "Add Photos". They will appear in the gallery.
