Help - Galleries!

The gallery is a site-wide program which allows talented users to showcase their artistic sides.

If you would like to browse the different galleries, you can do so by selecting different types of galleries from the pulldown menus. Then, when you push "Select," the galleries meeting your requirements will appear at the bottom of the page, along with a brief description of each.

If you see a gallery you would like to view, simply click its title, and you will be taken to it! You can view the different pictures or stories they have available, and make comments or offer ratings by clicking the links available at the bottom of each piece's page!

You can also search through the different galleries by using the search feature. You can search by genre, rating, or other such specifics to better find the types of works you're interested in!

Your Gallery

You can get your own gallery by making a donation to Ethereal Realms. For more information on donating, please visit The Donating Page.

Once you have your own gallery, you can access it through the editor. You will be brought to a screen that looks similar to the "puppet configuration" page.

First of all, you need to create a gallery. You can do this at the bottom of the screen, under the title "Create New Gallery," similar to how you would create a new puppet. Once you push "create," the gallery should appear in the list.

Gallery Details

After you have created your gallery, you can edit it by clicking the "details" button which appears to the right.

The first time you edit a specific gallery's details, you will be asked to specify whether it's a literary gallery or an image/photographic gallery. Select whichever your gallery will be, and push "select."

Next, you'll be taken to the Details page for your gallery. You can choose genre, rating, and other such features to better represent your gallery to viewers. You can also supply a brief description, to describe your gallery to passers-by.

Manage Works

From the Gallery Details page, you can click the "Manage Works" link at the top in order to add and edit either the writing or pictures you want in your gallery.

Photographic Galleries: The first thing to do here is upload some of your pieces! To upload a file, go to the bottom of the page, under the heading "Create a New Work." In the "Title of work" section, enter what you wish your piece to be called. Then, push the "browse" button to search through your computer for the specific file you wish to upload. You can only upload one file at a time. When you have selected the specific file you wish to upload, push the "Create" button.

After you have uploaded your file, the title you gave it should appear in the "Select/Delete" list on the page. If it does not show up, then there was a difficulty with the file and it could not successfully upload.

Now, you can select the file you uploaded and push the "details" button to edit how it will appear. You can choose the thumbnail you wish to appear and add a brief description.

Literature Galleries: First, you must create a title for the piece you wish to add. Do this at the bottom of the page, under the "Create a New Work" heading. Once you have entered the title you want, push "Create." This will make the title appear on the "Select/Delete" list.

After you have selected the title you wish to edit, click the "details" button to the right. This is where you will add your actual writings. Put the actual writings in the "Text" box. If you would like, you can also make a brief description for the piece.

If you wish to use html in your piece, push the "preserve text" option. If it has a checkmark in it, then Ethereal Realm's system will not add any breaks or other internal formatting to the piece. If it does not have a check in it, then the system will automatically put in breaks between the paragraphs, such as it does for posts and taglines in chat.
