I have been tgrying to add a picture to a Slhouette Gallery. This is what happened (my actions in italics, quotations from your FAQ as shown on page):

Went to Witches Abode page, sub-section “Silhouette Gallery”, then followed the instructions from the FAQ:

'''How do I upload a photo? Edit'''

So far, so good
 * Click "Edit"
 * Look at the toolbar, under where the heading button (It usually says paragraph or sub-heading 1) you will see icons. The one that looks like a picture is the icon for uploading a photo. Click it.
 * You then have the option from uploading the file from your PC. Click "Upload", choose your file then click "Apply Changes"

''Which is where everything went pear-shaped (appropriate for a silhouette?). All that happened was that my image (Silhouette-bat.png, about the right size) sat just outside the gallery “area”. I clicked on all sorts of areas and managed to add my caption (“Bat – hanging upside down”). Nothing that I could do would put that image in the right place. I tried dragging it, specifying “Right”, moving the file name to the correct place in the list and finally hoping that it would place itself according to the alphabetical order of the caption. I couldn’t find how to “click on the file name” – as it didn’t show in most of the places I looked and when I did find it, clicking achieved nothing.''
 * You can place resize the photo if you wish by selecting the photo, clicking on the file name, then going to "Advanced Settings" these settings allow you to resize and postion the photo as well.

Final instruction from FAQ reads:

Click "Apply Changes" the save the page.

''I even tried this in the hope that it might make everything right. It didn't and gave me a panicky half hour whilst I found out how to get rid of my apparent vandalism.''

Fortunately I eventually found out how to remove all traces of my efforts, so that at least the gallery doesn’t have my unfortunate bat hanging in the wrong place.

What should I have done?
