How do I add photos? How about adding albums?

What would a baby website be without photos?? Very boring indeed! We will go over the basics of photos and albums.

Photo Albums

First, you must create an album before you put photos in it. Adding albums allows you to organize your photos better as you would a regular photo album. Here is how to add an album...
  1. From Main Menu, click Photo Albums
  2. Click Add Album
  3. Enter a name for your album and click Add Album!

Now you have an album....let's add some photos! First let's get a brief overview.

Photos

There is no file size limit. However, the larger the file size, the slower the upload will be. Once you select the album that you would like to add photos to, there are four fields, as shown below...
  • PHOTO
    This field will contain the path of the file on your computer to upload.
  • TITLE
    This is simply a summary of your photo
  • DESCRIPTION
    A description is for if you need to describe in detail what a particular photo is about or you just want to make comments on the photo

To add photos, follow the steps below...
