Any artists involved or those who may soon get involved, here is a quick once over on how to load your images onto the site. It's pretty easy...
If you want to load Photography (or even photos of art...) get a Flickr.com account (you can probably use Shutterbug.com or Photobucket.com as well... though I haven't personally tried them...)
(also keep in mind you can definitely have separate porfolios such as if you had Photography and Art and Written Art... If you want separate portfolios just ask me! If you haven't noticed I have 3... one for photography, art and written words)
1. Load your photos/Images onto the Flickr.com site, shutterbug.com, myspace.com, facebook.com (or ask me how to load your art onto the Starving Iguanas FTP site)
2. Once loaded, click on the photo/image to enlarge it
3. Right click on your photo/image and select 'PROPERTIES'
4. Highlight the 'LOCATION'given and copy it
The 'LOCATION' is the 'IMAGE URL' that you need to load that photo/image onto the starvingiguanas.com site.
So now you are ready to add your image to your portfolio (assuming we have talked and a portfolio has been created for you already...)
1. log in (assuming you have already registered)
2. click on 'Add to my portfolio'
3. hit 'NEW
4. hit the image button (look like a little tree) on the tool bar (the toolbar is right above the text box)
5. retype or paste the LOCATION from Flickr.com
Your image will not show up immediately. It has to be 'approved' until I can figure out how to change that. I want you to be able to upload stuff without administrator approval, hopefully figure that out soon.
Love,
