<p>After you have completed the registration process, you may begin creating an album by uploading your pictures. Users can vote and post comments to your album and pictures. Please create only ONE album for yourself. If you wish to create sub-albums to separate your pictures, you may do so. There are many special features such as slideshow, picture editing, adding captions to your pictures...etc... You can choose any picture to display on the main Gallery page as a link to your album.</p>
<p>Be sure to read the rules regarding posting pictures before you begin hosting pictures on our site</p>
<p>You MAY use your pictures from the Gallery to post on the forum with tags. Simply 'right click' on the picture and select 'View Image'. This will open the picture by itself in your browser. Or you may also select 'open image in new window' which does the same thing. Now copy the URL from your address bar. it should look like this:</p>

Secret Admirer/Lydia Chase
<p>Some of you who have visited other sites like this might be familiar with Cilla Black. This is essentially a match maker program where you have a bit of fun and get secret admirers.</p>
<center>Here's how it works:</center>
<p>To send someone admiration you go to their post or profile page and click on "register your admiration for_____(=their name)" and this automatically sends them a message. The message will come from <b>Lydia Chase</b> and she will offer them the chance to search the member list for who they think might have been the admirer. If they guess correctly she will send a message to both you and the other person providing the names of your match!</p>
<center>*Lydia is not a real member, she is just part of the match maker program*</center>
<p>To download a secret admirer report, go to your usercp and at the bottom of the left hand menu it will say "Secret Admirer Report". This will send you an e-mail from Lydia with your current admirer counts, matches etc...</p>
<p>Lydia will not tell you who sent you the admiration so you have to play along The more we send the more chances of finding a match. And of course this is ''members only''. The counts and messages reset once per month so go love someone!</p>
