7. Be patient. Depending on your internet connection, this may take awhile. Make sure to not close your browser or navigate away. You can track your progress with the yellow progress bar.
8. View your album. After it is done uploading, you should automatically be taken to the album you just uploaded. Click on each picture individually to view it.
9. Edit settings. Click the edit settings link in the green area on the top. Here, you can change the name of your album as well as pick a new cover photo. Pick one that is representative of the album for easier sorting.
