How to create Image Galleries
Here is a quick, non-visual guide to creating galleries of images:
Step 1: Click "Create an Image Gallery" link in left sidebar. Follow the instructions -- give your gallery a name (SUGGESTION--Put your username in the name) and fill out a description. Click under the blue "parent" box if you want your gallery to be a sub-gallery within another gallery, and select the gallery you want it to be housed in.
Step 2: Click the "Upload Images" link in left sidebar. You will see a scary request about a certificate. Click TRUST. The instructions should be self-explanatory -- you can click the add button or drop and drag your photos.
Important: Make sure your images are reasonable sizes, 72 dpi or lower resolution and 5 x 8 max.
Step 3: Edit each image and choose your gallery. To do this, click on the photo in the upload images box (at the bottom just after you uploaded) OR click on "My Workspace" and you will find your recent images on that list; just click the title, edit and choose your gallery and then click "Save".
Step 5: Click on "Image Galleries" link on left sidebar, choose your gallery and have a look. To activate the Lightbox slideshow, just doubleclick one of the thumbnails and hover your mouse over the photo -- you'll see left or right arrows depending on your position in the slideshow group.
Have fun.

Kaylie -- uploading pictures
Kaylie,
when you click "Upload images" in the left sidebar, you will be receive that scary message GG mentioned above. One my computer, the options were actually "Run" or "Cancel", so you may need to click "Run" instead of "Trust" depending on your security settings on your computer.
As soon as you click the button to continue with the program, you should see a big, empty box on the page. There are three "buttons" (squares) on the right side of the big empty box. The top button, or square, should read "Add" -- the other two will be greyed out until you have pictures in the main box.
Hope this helps! If you still have questions let me know and I can send you some pictures to help you navigate uploading.
