Home 1A through 1I are located on FSBO page 1 and 2A through 2I are locate on FSBO page 2.

Each home has two pictures associated with it, a small one to be displayed on the main page and a larger one to show a larger pop up view.

These pictures are stored in a directory called "gallery". The small pictures are named gallery1-1.jpg through gallery1-9.jpg representing homes 1A through 1I. The larger ones are named Fgallery1-1.jpg through Fgallery1-9.jpg representing homes 1A through 1I. The pictures for page two follow the same numbering sequence using a "2" as follows, gallery2-1.jpg through gallery2-9.jpg and Fgallery2-1.jpg through Fgallery2-9.jpg for the larger pictures.

The smaller pictures should be 130 pixels wide for proper display. They will display if they are larger however the page load time will be slower.

The larger pictures should be between 500-600 pixels wide.

When adding new homes name the files properly and then place the pictures in the catalog directory and transfer them to the server using an FTP program. Alternativley you can upload the pictures using the Site Admin Interface.
