Posting Photos of CORE trips on the CORE Website

Addendum to February 2016 Newsletter

This Post is supplemental to the detailed instructions on the CORE website on How to Upload CORE Photos. The use of Java scripts is unnecessary, and the easiest method is to use simple Drag and Drop to move photos from your desktop to the Fotki uploader.

Privacy note: when adding titles or comments to posted pictures, please respect your own and other peoples’ privacy. Restrict names to First Name & optional last name initial (e.g. Frederika W.)

Limit your Photos: When leaving a photographic record of your outing, please limit the number of photos, and avoid duplicates. Being concise these days is a virtue, so choose photos that make the best story of your terrific outing in as few pictures as possible.

Misplaced Files and Folders: If you do create a misplaced folder or album in the process, please email the CORE webmaster, and she/he will do their best to correct it.

Steps:
