Upcoming Chestnut website instruction opportunity
“The Image Gallery – Demystified”
Did you know that each Chestnut member has a page on our site where they can add text and upload paintings? This “Member Page” allows you to put your images on display for the world to see by creating an image “Gallery,” which neatly arranges all your paintings into a uniform online viewing gallery.
We’ve recently revamped our “Create a Gallery” instructions and are looking for volunteers to help us test our new instructions in a safe “mostly can’t get it wrong” environment.
Jay Holobach has offered the use of his workspace, free Wi-Fi (and coffee maker) for two volunteer groups. We would like to test the instructions before making our final edits and uploading them to the site. You will be helping your fellow Chestnuts.
What’s in it for you? At the end of 2 hours you will have created or updated your image gallery. Your images will now be searchable by the viewing public.
