› Click open

› Your image will take a few seconds to upload.

› Once uploaded, you will be able to view them like my files to the left.

› However, you should use a gallery to organize your work

› You can add a gallery page like this, or modify one you already have by clicking on the stock picture.

› You must also have a gallery page displaying your work.

› You should have a page that describes who you are, and why the site exists. – This is usually a solid

paragraph. – Say what you like to eat– Favorite type of art– Pets, sports, movie

There is no limit to your creativity
