8. To add pictures, use the “Image Manager” located at the bottom of the page. Scroll down to see it. Some tips for using images:
- Please don’t use images straight from a digital camera. These are much too large for the web.
- Use a program such as Adobe Photoshop Album, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or FastStone Photo Resizer.
- Advanced users: Make sure images are 72 dpi. The longest side of the picture should be about 300 pixels.
9. Adding images is done in several steps. At the Image Manager, click the Upload button. It should be the very last button at the lower right.
