FAQ: Uploading pictures and albums?
PREPERATION: a fine digital picture, less than 500KB, minimum width 600pixels and in the format JPEG, JPG or GIF must be ready on your computer
UPLOADING PICTURES: After logging into GLOBO, under your "HOME" menu, click on "(Upload)pictures";
Step 1 of 2: Enter the nearest town or city where the picture was taken, wait, then select a place that GLOBO has suggested. If the exact place does not show up try the name of the next nearest city. Use maps if needed, do check that the country and region is correct!
Step 2 of 2: Four fields require information;
a) Picture: click on "Search" or "Durchsuchen" to select the file and your picture on your computer. Double click on the file name, it then shows up in the field.
b) Caption: enter a creative name for the picture
c) Comment: Type in some background and description to the picture
d) Date Taken: enter the date in the format required, guess if needed.
Then click on "Upload" then wait and pray! Patience is needed for older modems, this can take 5 secs to 5 minutes depending on your internet speed and provider.
DISPLAYING YOUR OWN PICTURES: After a successful upload, a list of your pictures should automatically show as the next window. If not, then follow GLOBOs error proceedures should they arise, otherwise click on "HOME" and "pictures" in your horizontal menu anytime to display a list of your successfully uploaded pictures.
CREATING ALBUMS: Only the above successfully uploaded pictures can be added to albums (slide-shows). For this, click on "(Upload) slide shows" and follow directions. To add pictures to an album go to your "pictures" and use the third button with the frame-and-plus symbol to add them.
Like Ravi says, practice makes perfect...
