How to add photo captions

[tmoning]

Motorhome travelers have uploaded wonderful images to FMCA.com's Community photo album. Unfortunately, many posters have not included photo captions, so I'm left wanting to know more about the image(s).

Here's how you can add descriptive captions to your images:

• When uploading images, in the "Caption" field, type a short title of the image. This is not a full caption, but just a short title for your image.
  
• Here's the important part: Type the full photo caption, or image description, in the large, white text block (below the caption line and toolbars).
  
• Scroll down and click the "Post Image" button to post your image with caption.
  
• Repeat process for additional photos.
  

If you have already uploaded images to an album, or if you have chosen to "bulk upload" your images, you can go back in and add titles/captions. Here's how:

• Go to your album and click the blue "Options" button (to the right of your uploaded image), and select "Edit Image from the drop-down menu.
  
• Next to "Caption," type a short title of the image, or leave the one you have. This is not a full caption, but just a short title for your image.
  
• Type the photo caption, or image description, in the large, white text block (below the caption line and toolbars).
  
• Scroll down and click the "Post Image" button to save your changes.
  
• Repeat process for additional photos.
  

That's all there is to it. Now, you and other motorhome enthusiasts will enjoy a better photo sharing experience.

While you are at it, when the photograph comes up and you are looking at the data to be filled in, it will have a title like 27541.jpeg which is your file name for the photo that you uploaded to the web site. Change that name to something descriptive of the photo, a short title, so that when people drag the cursor over your photo on the random gallery display in the community page, they will get an idea of what the photo is about. See how it works with one of my albums in the gallery. You should be able to drag the cursor over any of the pictures and get a title for the picture.
