Photo Gallery Component: Managing Photos
The Photo Gallery feature allows you to display multiple thumbnail photos which visitors can click on to view larger images. Photos can be grouped into subcategories.
Adding a Photo Gallery
You will want to discuss adding a photo gallery with a Datahost representative. He or she will set up a new main category in your Site Manager for your photo gallery.
If you have only a few photos for your photo gallery, photos may be uploaded as items in the main Photo Gallery category. However, if you have many photos, it is best to organize these into subcategories. You will want to create your subcategories, then add individual photos to the appropriate subcategory.

1. Category Name: a brief title your Photo Collection.
2. Description (optional): some descriptive text.
3. Category Image (Optional): Click the Browse... button to upload a main image for this Photo Collection, then "Save Changes".

The Photo Gallery can be set up so that your customers can submit a photo. You are notified by email when a photo is received so that you may review it before it is posted on the site. Let Datahost know if you are interested in this feature.
