How To Add Pages And Photos

Prepare your photos/images

  1. Download
  2. Crop & resize your photos to around 250-300px wide, save as JPG, quality 40%
  3. Filenames should not contain spaces or punctuation, though hyphens (-) & underscores (_) are okay. Saved files should be around 10-20k

Log in

  1. Go to http://www.stmatthias.org.uk, then locate the page where you want to add a page for the photos
  2. Click 'Sign in/Edit' from the bottom of the navigation on the left.
  3. Enter username 'YourName' (replace YourName with your actual name, eg KeithTrout) & the password.

Create a web page for your photos

  1. Click the 'Edit text' link in the grey toolbar at the top of the page.
  2. In the editing box that appears, click where you wish to add the link to the new page and type the name of the new page, wrapped in square brackets, eg [Burley2000PlusPhotos] ie left square bracket, Burley2000PlusPhotos (no space), then right square bracket.
  3. In the 'Summary' box type 'Added link to Burley2000PlusPhotos' and click the Save button
  4. You should now see a 'pink link' - a link to a page which does not yet exist.
  5. Click the pink link to 'Burley2000PlusPhotos' and you should see the default text for a new page. Delete it all and enter some suitable text.

Send/upload a photo

  1. Click the 'Upload pictures' link in the navigation on the left.
  2. Click the 'Browse' button (may alternatively be labelled 'Choose file' or similar). Navigate to the folder where you saved the JPGs and choose the first one
  3. Enter YourName (eg KeithTrout) as username and the password
  4. Click 'Send file' then wait til the photo has been uploaded to the server (no more than a minute on dial-up).
  5. You should now see the photo you uploaded, with a text box above it saying something like:

[(Write text here that describes the image.) | http://www.stmatthias.co.uk/graphics/pic-name.jpg]

Add the photo to your page

  1. Select that whole text, including the square brackets either end, to your clipboard (ctrl-c or cmd-c).
  2. Switch to the window behind, the one with the text of the page you're editing, and paste the link to the photo from your clipboard. Change the 'Write text here...' to something that describes the image (for non-visual visitors) and click the Save button.
  3. Repeat for remaining photos.
