Create and Upload an Album to a Website

First, a few helpful hints and notes:

Always use lower case for everything when dealing with websites. It eliminates a lot of problems.
- Have all of your JPG files in lower case
- Have all of your folders in lower case
Never use spaces in filenames and folder names. Spaces cause problems on websites.
These steps assume you have an FTP program and are familiar with it.
FTP ( File Transfer Protocol ) is a software program that will help you upload files to your website
If you have a website domain, it is assumed that you already have some means of uploading to it. If that is not the case, then the first thing you need to do is get an FTP program. Do a search on the internet for: FTP Program Download and you will find one that you can download and use.
Follow these instructions exactly the first time. Once you are done, and have seen it work, you can make changes

Follow These Steps (exactly):

Go into PhotoELF, create a folder on your computer and name it: albums (use all lower case).
Go into the albums folder and create another folder named: test1 (use all lower case).
Go into the test1 folder and put several JPG pictures in it.
Make sure the pictures do not have spaces in the file names.
Create an album using the Album Wizard.

Now, fire up your FTP program to upload your album.
On your website, using your FTP program, create a folder named: albums (inside the public_html or root directory).
Go inside the albums folder on your website with the FTP program.
Upload the test1 folder,and all of its contents, to the albums folder on your website.
After you have done this, you should be able to access your album by visiting the following page:

http://www.your-website-name.com/albums/test1/test1.html
(of course, change the www.your-website-name.com to your real address).

Then place the following link on the home page of your website:
```
<a href="/albums/test1/test1.html">See my first photo album</a>
```
