Step 1

Open FrontPage and open a new page:  File – New – Page

Step 2

Choose Insert – Web Component... from the menu bar.

Step 3

Choose the Photo Gallery from the list of component types on the left. You will see a variety of layout options on the right.

Step 4

Click on the Layout option from the Photo Gallery window. Tip: Choose either the Horizontal or Vertical layout so that you can type in a caption.

Step 5

Click on the Pictures tab at the top of the window

Click on the Add button then choose Pictures from Files… and browse to the location of your files, for example, My Documents on your hard drive (C:) or the floppy disk in your A: drive.

Step 6

Select your first file. Note that you can adjust the size of the thumbnail for each photo. (A thumbnail is a miniature duplicate of the original image that is featured in a gallery. This feature allows for faster download speeds for users. If a user wants a closer look at an image he or she just double-clicks on the thumbnail and it expands to original size.) Normally you would have to create two versions of every photo yourself but lucky for you this feature of FrontPage does it automatically for you!

Step 7

Scroll down to the Caption box and type in some descriptive words. These will show up with the image in the finished gallery if you chose the correct layout. Note: If you did not choose a layout that displays the caption and description, you can always go back and switch to a different layout.

Step 8

Continue adding the rest of your images repeating the above steps, adding a caption and adjusting the thumbnail sizes as you add each picture. When you’ve added all your images for the gallery, click on the OK button at the bottom of the window.

Step 9

Upload these photo gallery pictures into your WebCT course, your faculty web folder or your Pipeline course (depending on size). Remember if your gallery is over 1 mg. you will not be able to upload it to Pipeline due to size restrictions. If this is the case, one option is to upload your gallery into your faculty web folder and simply link to it from your Pipeline course.

Remember that you’ll need to upload all the image files that are linked from the gallery page. Always keep bandwidth in mind. Sometimes it’s better to create several pages of images that are smaller in size than one big page.

NOTE: If you would like to link to a gallery in your faculty web folder from either your faculty web page or Pipeline course and the gallery contains student images or original work you need to have students sign an authorization form allowing you permission to display their content on an open website.

That’s it! You’re done!
