Tutorial 1: Uploading Pictures Step 1: Click on the Easy Edit button to get started. Step 2: Click on the Photo Button. Step 3: You can add images (basically) two ways (we're going to ignore the Yahoo Images and Slide Show options). Option A) You can upload from the Photo Gallery - so if an image is already in the photo gallery and you wanted to add it to your profile, instead of uploading it twice you could just search for it in the gallery and select it then upload it. Option B) You can upload pictures from your computer. Click on the Upload New Photos tab. (as shown in the image below). The next step once you have this screen is to BROWSE your images and find the file you want to upload. Please NOTE!!!! There is a button called Add to photo gallery. IF you want this image added to the gallery leave it click. IF it's just a personal image going on your profile page then UNCHECK this button. It adds clutter and duplicates to the gallery that one of the moderators must then go back and clean up. If you are adding something to the gallery make sure you NAME the image (it helps to not have hundreds of images titled "untitled". Then chose the folder in the gallery where you'd like the picture to be. Doing all of this keeps the files nice and neat and organized for everyone. We thank you in advance. Once you are finished selecting your image then go ahead and click ADD PHOTO The next screen is where you can edit your image. You can change its size, fit/wrap text, and give it a "rollover" name. You can also add a link to your image if you want. When you finish filling out the info you want click done. Then click save. And you're good to go!

Tutorial 2: Creating a Table (to help organize, pictures, text and everything else) Step 1: Click on the easy edit button. Step 2: Click on the Table button. Step 3: Set up your parameters. This is where you can decide the number of columns and rows as well as the width of your grid. Try and keep your table no larger than 800 pixels. After 800 px people have to start scrolling sideways to see everything on the page. -- The best way to learn all the table commands is to just play around with it. Remember columns move left to right and rows move top to bottom. You can leave Cell margins at 3px. Step 4: Once you are done setting the settings, click on ADD TABLE. Then just click your mouse in the table where you want to insert your image or text and proceed forward. **NOTE** Using TABLES really really helps to organize images better and keep them under control.
