Yearbook Photos - submissions due Feb 27!

A how-to guide

We are so glad you can contribute your photos to the yearbook!  This page describes the steps you need to use to upload your photos to a special site so we can collect them and publish the yearbook.  We appreciate your help very much!

First, you need to gain access to the website.  For security reasons, we are not publishing the password.  But it's easy to get.  Just email the administrator admin@rutledgepta.org and I will send you the information.

 

Once you have the site password, go to:
http://www.photobucket.com.
You will see something like this:

 

In the upper right corner, enter username rutledgepta and the password you received.   Please log-in.  The upload process is very easy.

 

VERY IMPORTANT:  Please do not upload your photos to the home page!  We need them categorized by teacher and grade, so we need you to create an Album and upload into it.  Step 4 explains how...

On the left side at the bottom (below all the other albums), you will see a square box with the words "add a new album".   Enter the grade <space> teacher, and event you are uploading photos, 

Example: 1st Alford- Christmas Party  and press save. 

I typed in Demo for the purpose of these instructions, in which case I see the following:

Once you have created an album, you can upload INDIVIDUAL photos by clicking one of the three Browse buttons.  Find the photos on your computer and click Open.  After you have selected 1-3 images, click Upload on this page and they will be uploaded. You will then seem them in your album (click back to rutledgepta on the left, then click your album name.)

ALSO IMPORTANT:  If you are uploading MORE THAN ONE Album, please make sure you go back to the root rutledgepta album before you add a second album (click Back to Rutledgepta in the Album list).  Otherwise, your additional album(s) will be "hidden" inside an album.


Want to upload a TON of images at the same time?  It's easy!

Just click the    Bulk Uploader =>    button.  Be sure to follow the instructions on the screen to install the Active-X control, which your browser needs to perform this function.  Typically, this appears as a little yellow strip at the top of the screen that says "Install Active-X Control?"  Install it.  Then, you will see the upload screen:
 

 Locate your directory on the left, and your images will appear on the right.  Select the ones you want ot upload by clicking the (+) buttons and then press   UPLOAD  .  That's it!  You should see the images you selected appear in your album.


Finally,  please keep in mind that you are uploading photos to a shared web site.  If you delete anything, please be VERY careful so you don't accidentally delete someone else's photos.  Also, please do not add "tags" to the images.  We have to remove the Tags or they will print in front of the photos.


THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUBMISSIONS!   If you have ANY difficulty with this at all, please email me, Ed Downs, at the following address admin@rutledgepta.org and I will help you.   Thanks for providing photos for our annual yearbook!
