This is a user-managed photo gallery. This area is a counterpart to the Photos area of the main web site. Whereas the main web site is managed by a and incurs a certain amount of editorial involvement, this gallery is managed by the users.

Any member of RADPAN can have his or her own album and upload pictures into it. If you want your own album in this gallery, to create a user id and an empty album for you.

Here are some features to try as you navigate the Gallery:

• The search engine finds albums and photos which match the search string (try searching for "Jeff" or "cookie")
• The owner of an album can add a caption to each picture. He or she can also list keywords for the search engine to find. (This is a good place to list the people in a picture.)
• Anyone can add a comment to a picture. Just click on the thumbnail to bring up the large image and then click on the comment link.
• Albums can have subalbums. Once the administrator creates your root album, you are free to organize your photos into subalbums. If Jeff created a subalbum for every RAGBRAI he's been to, he'd have at least a score of them!
• If you like a picture a lot, you can always print it on your own printer. If you would rather have a professional print, click the Shutterfly link in the photo view. It will take you to Shutterfly.com where you can order a print of almost any size. (Snapshot-sized prints are about 50 cents and include a two-cent donation to the volunteers who maintain the Gallery software.)
