How to upload pictures to your web page:

  6. Sort: The Sort number controls the order in which photos display on your page. There are 99999 sort numbers. If you assign Sort numbers 7, 45, 99999, 1, 300, your pictures will show in this order: 1, 7, 45, 300, 99999.
  7. Add a Caption: Caption is the description you write for your picture.
