If you have lots of images, you can import them automatically - many at the same time. This is much faster than creating them individually. You need some basic skills, though...

1. If possible, resize the photos first - for instance to 600x800 pixels - with software like XNview or Irfanview. This is a good idea, because it makes uploading the files much quicker...!
2. Now you are ready to upload them to the webserver:
   • If you know how to work with an FTP-program (software to transfer files from your computer to a remote one), and have one installed, please use it:
     * FTP-server: 69.73.180.177
     * Username: etnohysterics [at] folx [dot] org
     * Password: dontdrinkandjam

   • Otherwise, there are web sites offering FTP services to upload files (like your photos): for instance www.net2ftp.com ... here's how to work with that one:
     • Go to the website www.net2ftp.com - login with the data provided above. Click the button "Upload".
     • On the next page, select the files (or ZIP file) you want to upload
     • Then click the green check mark logo - and you should be done with it. Gratulations! The photos are now stored on the server of www.folx.org and ready for being imported.

       An advantage of net2ftp: you can upload ZIPped files of your photos (not more than ~4MB each = ~30 photos)
       Less work this way, and works even faster.

3. Last step: import the photos into the website, so they can be seen by everyone:
   • log into your www.folx.org account and

   • go to this page: http://folx.org/admin/content/image_import
   • There just mark all the photos you want to import, select a gallery where they should go, write some keywords if you want and click the button "import": wait for a short while, and you should be done. Gratulations!
