Jalbum issues on FP 2003

[Michele]

I have FP2003 and want to post a recent event slideshow on my Website.
www.rec.udel.edu The site I actually want is the NEWSS Weed Contest.
Ok, I downloaded JA and created 3 folders and I don't need anything fancy -
the default nature skin is fine. Now...what exactly do I do now? Earlier
post said to save Jalbum to a site outside FP When I did that I got the three
folders but they aren't folders just that unknown program icon.

Please provide a step by step (idiots guide) to how I get these images to
this NEWSS site.

I haven't used Jalbum in a long time, but here's what I remember (and this
holds true to whatever app you're using to make your gallery):
Use the gallery making application as the designers intended, then you'll
generally find a file/ save as or file/ export type of thing in the
application. What you're trying to do is let the application do it's job.
basically they'll all finish the work flow by outputting a bunch of files
inside a folder.
Once you're done in the gallery app and you've created the folder full of
files from within it, click (in FrontPage or EW) File/ Import/ Folder.
Browse to the folder, select it and import it. Now that the folder is
inside your FrontPage or EW metadata enabled site just hit file/ publish
site and publish it up to the server.
That's it.

Well, I went into JA and made my folders. I do this through the internet.
When I tried to drag them to a place outside of FP, my desktop for instance,
I don't have "folders" but the default icon that comes up when the computer
doesn't know what app to use. I think I am missing a step.

I inherited maintenance of a FP Website with no real training. I have a
University event to display with about 500 images. I am trying to find the
easiest way to get those up so that folks who participated in it from all
over the country, can see them. Doesn't have to be fancy. The orignal
pictures are 1-2 MG each. I do not know Java Script. Our website is
www.rec.udel.edu and the event is the NEWSS I ended up using JA to host
one file but it's not what I want.

Earlier, I did post some photos using FP gallery for Safe Kids Day (off of
same site). That worked okay but halfway through the photo gallery the images
became compressed and distorted.

Would appreciate any guidance!

there's no drag and drop needed. output the folder from within J-album, and
then in FrontPage click file/ import/ folder and then browse to wherever the
folder was saved out from J-album.

Are you saying you are creating the album on the internet?

Download the JAlbum software.

Install it on your machine.

Create an empty folder outside of Frontpage where you will generate your
album into.

Fire-up JAlbum and create your masterpiece, putting it in the empty folder
you created. When you are happy with how it looks/works, then IN your
Frontpage Website (on your local machine) File | Import that entire folder
that you generated your album in into Frontpage.

Then create links to the first index page within the root of that JAlbum
folder from your main FP website.

You can get more complicated if you want but this is the simplest way.
