[nabs-l] Facebook question regarding photo albums

I have not created an album since the last website change, so this may
not be as accesible since I have noticed a decrease in accessibility
in other aspects of the website, but I will tell you what I have done.

The best case scenario is to know what order your pictures are in. I
have uploaded pictures to my computer and had someone rename the
pictures with enough of a description so I would know what they are.

Then, you create the album. You have to enter a title, and then on the
next page, you will be able to upload pictures. You need to use the
simple uploader. You will only be able to upload 5 pictures at a time,
but it is the accessible option. After uploading 5 pictures, they wil
show up with a coupld of check boxes like, make this the album cover,
or delete this picture, and there will be an edit box to write a
picture caption. I typically ignore all of this stuff, and click the
link to upload more pictures until I have uploaded all of the pictures
for an album. The pictures will appear in the order in which you
uploaded them, so after I am finished, I return to the folder where my
pictures are stored, and use the title of each picture as a guide to
write the caption for that picture. You can then choose your album
cover and finish. There is not a way to tag people, so I either get
someone to help me or encourage my friends to tag themselves.

I know uploading iPhone pictures is accessible, so that could be
another method. I don't think you can rename your pictures, so if
you're uploading multiple pictures, you'll have to keep track of which
picture number corresponds to each picture.

I hope this helps. I really enjoy making albums and sharing my
pictures although I don't do it often.
