In order to put images into your Photo Gallery, or to store them for usage on other pages of your site, your first step will be uploading those images from your computer to your hostbaby Wizard site.

Go to http://yourdomain.com/hostbaby (replacing yourdomain.com with your actual domain) Log in click on Website, then Image Bank

And you'll see this screen:

The first thing you'll want to do is click the Browse button. That will pop open a little window that shows you your computer. You're seeing the Macintosh version here, so it will vary if you're on PC:

Use the window to navigate to the place on your computer where the image you wish to upload is stored. Mine is right there on my desktop:

Once you've found the image you wish to upload, select the image name with your mouse, and click the Open button (or OK, depending on your computer.)

You'll note that it will drop you back onto the Image Bank page, but this time, the image field is filled out. So your next step is to type in the Title of your image. (This is what will be shown in the Image Bank, so make sure you name this wisely so you'll remember what it is later!)

Then click the upload button. Depending on how large your image is, it can be super fast or take a few minutes.

Uploading Multiple Images at once

  • Before you attempt to do this make sure that the files you are uploading are of a reasonable size. Uploading many large files may fail depending on your computer and internet connection.
  1. To upload multiple photos to your Image Bank simply click the "Select Files" button to open the module window.
  2. Locate the files on your computer
  3. Once you have located the files, select each file while holding down the "Ctrl" or "Shift" key to select more than one file at a time. (If you have trouble selecting multiple files, see one of these tutorials[PC] [Mac])
  4. Click Open ('select' on Mac) followed by 'Upload'

(It may take time to upload multiple photos at once)
