Create Photo Album
 Open the editor and from anywhere click Add a New Page.
If you look at my menu system on the left, I'm going to add a page named Gallery
In the interface that opens, Add a page name. This is the page name as you want it to appear on the menu. I'm adding Gallery.
Click on the drop down box arrow for Page Type.
Select Gallery List
Click the blue button to Add.
Now you get a congratulations screen that says you've added a new page. Notice it appears at the bottom of the menu.
Click the page name beside the green arrow or the page name in the left hand menu.
Notice the code in the text editor. Below the page name Gallery you see:
{%gallery%}
At present this code will produce a list of galleries that you create. We'll see how to make this the actual gallery of pictures later.
 For now, to build the photo album, click Add-on Modules on the top of the editor.
Choose Gallery
Give the gallery a name. I'll use MyPhotos
Then Click Add new gallery
If the gallery is created, you'll get the message shown below.
Click << Back to Galleries
Now click Upload New Images
 On the interface that opens, use the Browse buttons to locate the images on your machine that you want to upload.
When you're ready, click Submit
Note: Use the resize for internet option if you've taken your pictures straight out of a digital camera. This will reduce their size so that they don't take aeons to load .
When you click Submit the page you'll get a screen that says Images Uploaded Successfully.
Click the button that says Close window if nothing happens click the Red X.
Click on the name of the gallery and you'll get a screen like the one below..
Note: Don't worry about the quality of the pics shown here. Yours will be much better. I had to take the quality way down so that the screenshot would load faster.
Now add your comments to your pictures.
Notice the code in the upper right corner of this page. If you want the Gallery page to be the actual photo gallery instead of a list, replace the code {%gallery%} (shown in the 4th screenshot) , with this code.
In my case it would be {%gallery_MyPhotos%}
Note: Don't try to do this until after you save your comments. For now just copy and paste it into NotePad or write it down.
When you finish adding your comments, click the blue button on the bottom, Save Comments.
Now you can either edit the code and change the Gallery web page as I explained above, or you can Preview your website.
I'll explain some of the other options in later screenshot tutorials.
For now let's go to Editing a Web Page
