How to Use the Gallery & Enter the photo contest
The first thing you will need to make sure is that you are registered at the Gallery, if not you can Register here. Next you will need to navigate to the photo of the week contest which can be usually found here or to your gallery. Above the photos on the right hand side you will see a drop down box that says album actions. Click that and chose add sub item. This will bring up the following image. Click browse and find the photo you would like to enter on your computer. When you do so, you will see this.





Next you will enter your Description of your photo following with your name as shown in above photo. You have three options in the drop down box (see above photo) set files from 1. Base file name. This is the name of the picture set from your camera 2. Caption. This is what you typed in the caption. 3. Blank. I like to set it to blank, you can do what you please. Most leave the default which is option 1. Your next options are next to the drop down box and are check boxes. This is where you tell the gallery were to add your caption. I like adding to description only, but again the default is perfectly fine. This results in the following image if you chose to add description only and set file to blank.




How to add photos in a post
There are two different ways you can add a picture to a post, one as a n attachment and the other you can put the photo within the post it’s self. To attach a photo or file be sure you are not using the quick reply feature. Under the reply box you will see file manager, click that and a new window will pop up where you can click browser to search your computer for the picture you want listed. After you click the photo click add file next to the browse button. At this point you can click done adding files or you can click browse as the new board allows multiple attachments in a post. The second way is to use the image tags so your photo is within your postt. In order to use the image tags you will need a URL to that photo. You can use an online photo album such as Photobucket. What happens is you upload your picture to your online photo album, which is free. It will give you a URL to your photo in your album. When making a post or reply (not in quick reply) in the post options next to the envelope, you can mouse over and it will say Enter an Image. Click that and the tags will be inserted into the post. Type or past the URL in between those tags and that will add your photo within your post. When using this option, please remember that the allowable size of your photo is 250x250 pixels. Again you can add multiple photos with this option as well

Using the Search Function
There are two places you can start a search from. For this FAQ, we will concentrate on the small search box located on the Portal Page. The screen snapshot below shows the search box I am talking about.



As an example, let us say you want to know about mealworm farms. You can just type in the words 'mealworm farm' in the search box. Do not use the single quotes like I did. When I did that the search returned 17 pages of results and many of the results really had little to do with mealworm farms. Lets look at this a little closer. What I did was actually tell the search engine that I wanted to search for all posts with either the word 'mealworm' or the word 'farm' or both. So you see, I can get a lot of results that really don't have what I want. Let us try it again but entering the words a little different. Now I will enter the search words in the search box like this. '+mealworm +farm'. Don't use the single quotes but do put a little plus symbol in front of each word. This time I got only 3 pages of results and they are much more related to what I want. By entering a plus symbol in front of each word in the search words, you are telling the search engine that the result must include that word. So, I was telling it that I want to see all results for mealworm and farm instead of mealworm and/or farm. But, we can get it even a little more narrowed down if we want. By entering in my words enclosed with a double quote, I am telling the search engine I want to see all posts that contain exactly what I type in. So, I enter the word mealworm farm with the double quotes in the search box. This time I get 2 pages and the post contains the phrase mealworm farm. The limit of search is that you can only search up to three years back and the max unmber of results is currently at 600. We limit the searches because of server load.
