gallery issue

I am trying to upload my first layout EVER to my gallery..it says it uploads succesfully but when I go to look at it, its not in my gallery...any help?

I've had that happen a few times, and it was usually because I tried to upload too big a LO or forgot to actually upload the image but clicked submit for the info I'd typed in.

So first, double check the size of your image. Is it under 700 px x 700 px and less than 250 kb? If not, you need to start by creating a low resolution copy of your LO that fits SSD's gallery requirements.

If it's sized correctly, did SSD ever let you navigate through your computer files to select the image to upload? If not, you probably clicked "submit" for the info you typed on the upload page rather than for the image. If you don't see the place to do this, we can give you more details.

ETA: Here's a tutorial (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/tutorials/index.php/2011/12/save-for-web/) that will walk you through it all.

Down at the bottom did you actually click "select files for download" then choose your file? I did the same thing the first few times I tried to upload after the site re-do.

Thanks! I realized the file was too large! I got it added now! Thanks!
