- Click on Specify File button
- Choose the location of the file
- Click Save
- Enter the project name and description
Third, Tagging....the important part!
- Click on Select Tags button - a window will open

- Click on Save and Upload More if you're planning to add multiple projects
Congratulations! Now your images are part of your gallery, and can also be searched in the Idea Galleries.
