  Hi Merna,
It sounds like you are wanting to create individual albums for your gallery, which would then feature the individual album "covers" for each category on your first page. You can create albums as follows:

1: Click on the Basic Membership tab in your member center (upper right tool bar).

2: Click on the Photo Albums link under "Basic Better Pholio" in the left column of the page.

3: Here you'll see the albums set up. Choose your first album name & description, and then select an image for the album cover that will appear in your gallery.(Once you’ve selected a cover image, be sure you see the 6 digit ID number appearing in the “Album Cover ID” box.)

4: Now hit the "Create Album" button, and a thumbnail image of your first album will now display along with control links for that album.

4 Your next step will be to add your selected photos for that album. We suggest using the newer “Quick Add Photos To Albums” link in the left-hand column, which allows adding multiple photos to your album(s) at the same time.

5: After you've placed your images in one or more albums, use the options links to the right of each album, to edit and sort images for that album.

6: One final note: Our system displays your albums alphabetically in your gallery. If you wish to change that order, you'll need to either title your albums differently, or use a number in front of the title... such as 1: Sports 2: Nature, etc.

Regarding moving an image to the front of your gallery: If you have no albums, click on the "Better Photos" tab on your member center tool bar, and then use the "Photo Sort Order" link in the left column. Here you can drag and drop your displayed images into any order you wish them to appear.

To arrange your images once you have created albums, Click on the "Photo Albums" link as descriobed above in step 5. (You will see a "Photo Sort Order" option in the menu to the right of each album you have created.)

If you have any further questions, just let me know and I will be glad to assist you further.

Regards,
Brian Lobdell
