    Click on the “Upload a File” button and browse to the folder that contains the pictures to upload. Click on the file and then click on the “Open” button. Depending on your browser, you may be able to select up to 10 images by holding down the Ctrl key upload_2015-9-9_22-55-20.png or Command key upload_2015-9-9_22-55-27.png .

    Is there a way to sort the Garage Images?
    Also, I have three "Garage" items. Is there a way to merge them together without losing the number of "views"?

    I'll take a stab at this. Make the image smaller. I've never used one on a phone, but I have an excellent program on my computer that resizes images easily. Most cell phone photos are over 1 megabyte in size, and images for websites don't need to be anywhere near this size. I resize images to the 300 to 500 kb range.
