Instructions for Members Galleries

 
Members will be allowed to place galleries of images on the club web site. The galleries will be linked from the club home page and may also be directly access. Content will be up to the members as long as it is their own work, given consideration of common sense and good taste.


 
Basic Guidelines
 
Galleries should be limited to about 10 or 12 images. Members may have as many as three galleries at one time (subject to available web space). Some consistency or theme is recommended, especially if the member has multiple galleries. Galleries are not permanent. It is recommended that images be changed at some interval such as 6 months. A date will be included to indicate when the gallery was added. If no changes are made, a gallery will be removed at some point (about 1 year after submittal). Gallery content should be adjusted such that the total gallery is limited to about 1 megabyte in size.


 
How to Prepare a Gallery
 
If you already have a web site with a gallery that you maintain, you can just provide the link. We will put the link on the list of galleries and visitors can go directly to your web page. With this option you can have as many galleries as you want indexed on your own web page, of course. A link to your home page can also be included on the club gallery index.
 
If you have the capability to develop your own web pages but do not have a web site of your own, you may prepare the entire gallery and submit it for uploading to the club site. The gallery should be self contained in a directory. The directory should be named with your initials and the gallery number such as "kjg01". All directory names and file names and extensions should be entirely lower case ("photo01.jpg"). The first page as you enter the gallery should be named "index.html".
