Editing admin functions on Spotted















Buffalo.com photo by Marc Wierzbowski.

There have been some questions in the last couple weeks about how to use some of the admin functions on We Spotted galleries once the photos have been posted. It is indeed kind of a counter-intuitive pain in the neck to figure out, so I thought I would post instructions here as a reference anytime you get stuck.

To add tags, rename a gallery, add/edit a description, add/edit categories, or reorder your photos:

  • Go to the We Spotted home page. Make sure you are logged in!

  • Check the sub-navigation area in red and click the Photographers link on the right-hand side. This should open a page that shows an alphabetical list from which you can view the various We Spotted photographers. Select the letter that corresponds with your FIRST name. When this page opens, click on your name.

  • This will take you to your We Spotted profile. This is a different section from your My Spotted profile. You should see your most recent six We Spotted galleries (or all of your galleries, if you have posted less than six). At the bottom of these galleries is a link that reads "See All." Click this link.

  • You are now redirected to a page where you will see thumbnail versions of all of your galleries. Beneath each thumbnail will be red commands for ADMIN, EDIT, and REORDER. Use EDIT to change add tags, rename a gallery, add/edit a description, or add/edit categories. The REORDER tool will allow you to move around the photos within your gallery.
If you have additional questions, just let me know!
