Adding Images

When you upload an image to your web site, several smaller, supplemental copies of the image will be automatically created, including the smallest, a thumbnail version. These smaller versions are used by your site when showing images in lists of items in a folder.  The original full-size image is always there, and this is the size that is shown when you choose the uploaded image to be included in a web page.

When you get ready to upload an image, use the add item menu for a folder:

After clicking to add an image, you'll see the edit image panel:

The Title and Description fields (field, as in data input field) are there, as with adding a Folder, and there are two additional things at the bottom. Let's look at the four input items individually:

• Title - Use whatever text you want, even with blanks and punctuation. 
  
• Description - Always a good idea, but always optional. Leave it blank if you want.
  
• Image - The Image field is a text entry box along with a Browse... button.  You don't have to type anything here; just click the Browse button and you'll be able to browse you local computer for the image file to upload (Remember: You need to remember where you keep your images on your computer).

You also notice other tabs: view, for looking at the image, properties, for entering basic properties, and sharing, for setting access to the image for other users. The view tab is self explanatory -- click it whenever you need to see what an item will look like when browsed. The properties tab, and the basic data it covers, is described at the end of this section.  The sharing
tab is described in a later section dedicated to managing who can see and edit content.

At a minimum, you will type in a title and browse for the image file, then hit save at the bottom to upload the image to the site.  You'll have to wait a few seconds for the upload to complete (or a minute or so, if you have a slow Web connection). The uploaded image will be shown when you are done.
