On this page, more information for your photo can be added, such as a caption, description and excerpt. The page should look familiar -- it's largely the same as the Post Article page, except for the fact that it has a photo attached, as well as some extra fields for photo-related information.

The New Photo page is shown below with a sample photo:
 |
The Photo Content section of the New Photo page is very similar to the Article Content section of the Post Article page. The Photo Caption is similar to the title of an article, the Photo Description is similar to the body of an article, and excerpts for photos are the same as excerpts for articles.

Here's a close-up look at the Photo Content section:
 |
Once you are done filling the Photo Content form, click the Save button to post it. Only when you click the Save button, whether you have chosen to publish immediately or finish working on it later, will the photo be actually saved in the blog.
If you decide that you do not want to keep the photo, click the Cancel button.
After you post your photo, you will return to the Post Manager page for the photo album where you just posted your photo. The page will be in Thumbnail View, meaning that photos will be listed in thumbnail form:
 |
Note that the filename of the photo appears above the thumbnail in faint gray text, and its caption appears below the thumbnail. Photos without captions do not have any text below their thumbnails.
From this page, you can choose to edit a photo by clicking on its thumbnail, or add another photo.
There is another way to look at the photo album: List View. Click List View, which is located near the top of the right column. You will still be looking at the same album, but from a different perspective:
 |
In this view, photos are listed by caption (which appears in the Title column). Photos without captions have the word Untitled in their Title column.
Unlike the Thumbnail View, the List View shows you the status and date and time the photo was published. It also lets you delete photos, which you cannot do from the Thumbnail View.
If you were to click on the Article & Photo Manager tab of the Navigation Bar, you would be taken to the View Content page and the right column list would show all the entries posted to your blog. If you just posted the photo,you will see it at the top of the list:
 |
If you were to click on the Dashboard tab of the Navigation Bar, you would be taken to the Dashboard; if you just posted the photo, it will appear at the top of the Recent Articles list:

Photos from the Reader's Point of View
Let's look at the photo just posted from the reader's perspective. A click on the View Blog link in the Command Bar opens the main page of the blog:
 |
Just as you can navigate to categories and photo albums using the Article and Photo Manager, your readers can navigate through them via the Topics list, which typically appears in the sidebar of your blog. On the Main Page, the Topics list shows all categories and photo albums that are directly contained by the Main Page. In this case, only the Photos photo album appears in the list. Click it to go there:
 |
Note the Main Page » Photos links near the top of the page. These are called Breadcrumbs, and are a trail of links by which you can navigate back to the Main Page.
From the reader's point of view, photo albums are sets of thumbnails with their captions appearing beneath them. Readers click the thumbnail to see the photo at full size, along with any text that may have been included with it.
In the example above, clicking the photo labelled McGill Street from above takes you to a page that contains this:
