In this tutorial, we will see how to upload picture/photos, create albums, organize album etc. On the bottom right of the page click on the photos icon.
Once you have clicked on that icon, a new page will load like the image below.
In the text-boxes provide, add the Album Name and a small description of the photos that will be present in the album. Leave the privacy part, as we only need to upload photos at the moment. Now, click on ‘Create Album’. You will be taken to a page like the one given below.
The photo upload application looks like explorer with folders on the left and the contents of the selected folder on the right. Select the folder that contains the photos/pictures that you want to upload.Now you will see the contents of the selected folder on the right side of the window. You will also notice a small check box on every photo/picture. Check the photos that you would like to upload and click the ‘Upload’ button. You can also use the ‘Select All’ and ‘Deselect All’ button as needed.
When all the selected photos/pictures are upload you will be notified that the photos/pictures were successfully uploaded.
In the next page, you can:
1. Enter a caption for photos in the text-boxes provided.
2. Tag people – Click on the photo, preferably their face and menu, enter their name or select from the list that is provided in the menu that pops up.
3. Select album cover – Select the ‘This is the album cover’ radio button of your desired photo
4. Delete photos – Check the ‘Delete this photo’ check box.
5. Move photos – If you have more than one album, the name of the albums will be listed in the drop down menu, which can be used to move photos from one album to another.
Save and publish.
That’s what it looks like on my profile page now. I am sure you too have seen some decent changes on your profile too. Now anyone who visits your profile will see that you have recently upload new photos. Moreover, notifications will be published on your friends profile wall.
To create more photo/picture albums, repeat the same steps.
Organizing Your Photos
On your photos section of your profile, located on the left side of your profile, click on ‘See All’ link. All your Albums will be displayed. Click on the ‘Edit Album’ link of the particular album that you want to organize. On the album page, you will find five tabs..
1. Edit: This tab has been explained above.
2. Add More: This tab allows you to add/upload more photos into the album. Adding process will be same as the one we have discussed earlier.
3. Organize: This tab is used to organize the photos present within the album.
4. Edit info: This tab allows you to edit the title and description of the album
5. Delete: Delete the whole album. Deleting selected photos can be done through the ‘Edit’ tab’, which has been discussed above.
When you go to the organize tab, you will see all the photos of the album. When others view your album the photos will be display as they are listed in this tab, i.e from the left to the right of the first row, then the next row and so on.
You will see a ‘Reverse’ button which will reverse the order of the photos. Click it and see how it works. You can arrange the order of your photos by using the drag-and-drop method. Just click on a photo, drag it to a desired spot and drop it. Save the changes and you are done with organizing your photos.
Now, as you work around the different tabs and photos you might have come across this dialog box often, which is irritating.
Just check the ‘Don’t ask again for these photos’ check box, located on the top of page in ‘Edit’ tab and click the ‘Skip Now’ button. You will not be troubled again by the above dialog box anymore.
