Hi all:
You should all be able to post your photographs now. Please log in to the course blog and play around with creating a photo gallery. The course blog is here:
http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/eastharlemblog/
You will see that I changed its appearance a little. I think this makes it easier to see all the pages and navigate the site.
In order to post, you will need to log into the blog through eportfolio. Then go into the site’s “dashboard”. Once there, look to the lower left, at the bottom of the sidebar, where you will see Gallery.
Click GALLERY.
Click ADD GALLERY/IMAGES
Click ADD NEW GALLERY (at the top of the page.)
Title your Gallery. I am assuming each walking group will create their own Gallery, meaning we will have three galleries based on which section of East Harlem you are walking. Perhaps assign one person from each group to create the Gallery and use the titles: “East Harlem, North”; “East Harlem, Central”; “East Harlem, South”
Once the Gallery is created, you can then upload images to it using the Upload Images tab.
It will prompt you to select images, do so, and then wait. Be patient. It will take a while.
This tab will also prompt you to CHOOSE A GALLERY. Make sure you post your photos to the right Gallery.
Then, click UPLOAD IMAGES.
Once all the images are uploaded, you must then MANAGE the Gallery and caption your images. You can do this by clicking MANAGE GALLERY, which will take you to a page of Gallery titles. Click your appropriate title and you will then see all the images that have been uploaded. You will see a space to title your images, as well as write a description. Here is where your notes are essential.
In the title, make sure you have listed the photo’s location. In the description, please add a caption that tell us what we’re looking at, if necessary. It’s possible that you won’t need to caption each photo, but please add as much information as you have collected.
Then, click SAVE CHANGES.
Your photos have now been uploaded and captioned.
There is one last step, which we will take care of once all the photos are there and that is to embed the gallery into the correct blog page, but one thing (or a million little steps) at a time.
