Creating a Gallery
1. Go to the Galleries page...
2. Once on the Gallery list...
(A) To create a new Gallery click on "New Gallery" button.

The creation and edition interfaces are very similar, however, when you are editing a Gallery you will see additional options.
3. Properties Tab...
• Title: Enter the Gallery title.
• Slug: This is for friendly URLs. You can leave this field blank and the system will generate it automatically when saving.
• SEO Description: This description will be used for SEO and as excerpt when listing the Gallery on search result pages, etc.
• Tags/Keywords: Write some representative keywords (comma-separated).
• Image: Supply an image (4:3 preferable) to use as main image.

If you are using recent versions of Chrome/Safari, Firefox or Opera, you can drag and drop your image file to the image field.

• Socialize: To enable/disable the social sharing options for this Gallery.
• Date/Time: The date/time of the Gallery.

On this tab is where you add images to the Gallery. To add images:
