Creating a Photo Gallery
Getting Started
The portfolio system can create photo galleries of your images. This is a great way to store your pictures and offers more customization than popular commercial websites. Creating a gallery is quick and easy. Zip your photos into a compressed folder and add them as an attachment. Once the gallery has been created, individual files can be added or removed. The gallery also allows you to add captions, reorder the images, and add images to existing galleries.
Photo Galleries have many uses. You can display your photos, or create galleries for class assignments.
- Galleries are a good way to categorize photos by subject.
- Try combining a web gallery with a forum topic to spark discussion.
