What sort order should I use to keep my pictures in a set sequence?
Usually, "Image Name" should keep them in sequential order as that is how the camera names them. If you want them different, then in "My Albums", choose to "Sort Photos". You can then number them in the order wanted.
=========================================
Trouble Shooting
Check these requirements if you have trouble uploading photos:
The maximum width allowed is 1600 pixels. This is a full screen size photo for about a 20" monitor.
Maximum height is 2500 pixels.
Maximum multimedia (movies, pdf's, powerpoint presentations, etc.) file size is 16,000Kb.
=========================================
If you're having some trouble uploading photos.
Your problem may be that the photos are just too large. They're ~250kb and 1600 x 1200 pixels. The photo site only displays a photo 1/2 that size by default so there is no sense to upload one larger than that unless it is imperitive to show detail. However, if you must, just do one at a time. That will increase your chances of it working right for you.
Otherwise, use the software that came with your camera to resize the photo by 50% or 800 pixels wide and retain the aspect ratio. Here is some help with that.
You can replace the photos with the resized ones without having to replace your descriptions by logging in, go to "my albums", choose the correct album by clicking on it's title, click on a photo that needs to be changed, choose 'edit photo', select the revised photo by using the 'browse' button. This will create a new thumbnail, also. You can also delete the extra photos from the album this way.
=========================================
Searching
To start with, "Less is better" Start out with only one word to search for. If you get too many returns, narrow the search by adding another word to the string.
Say you were searching for a pictorial describing a reminder to turn your turn signals off.
1st try signal
2nd, add turn to search the string, Search turn signal
3rd, if there's still too many returns, add buzzer, turn signal buzzer

How do I sort my photos?
First, LOGIN, hit MY ALBUMS, scroll down to the one you want to work on and click SORT PHOTOS.
I think "Image Name" should keep them in sequential order as that is how the camera names them. If you want them different, then in "My Albums", choose to "Sort Photos".
