There are two broad steps for creating a photoblog. First is to create a photoalbum to hold your pictures, and the second is to actually upload and describe the pictures that you want to share.
1. Login to Blogware - if you've forgotten, click here (but don't forget to come back and read the rest of instructions - or print them)
2. Click the "Categories" tab.
3. In the Category Explorer, select the category name that you wish to add your new PhotoAlbum to.
4. Click "Add PhotoAlbum" from the list above the Category Explorer.
5. In the "Directory Name" field, type a short memorable word that the system will use to describe your new photo-album.
6. This "Name" will be part of the URL of the PhotoAlbum, so it shouldn't include any spaces, special characters like "#" or "_"..
7. In the "Title" field, type in the name that you wish to give to your new PhotoAlbum. This is for people to see and use, so it can include spaces, use more than one word and include special characters.

Blogware will create your PhotoAlbum, and when complete, present you with a link that you can click to review the settings for your new PhotoAlbum and upload your pictures.
