Adding to Your Snowdance Collection
Entering items in your My Snowdance Collection, is a two part process.First you create the main or master record with a description of the doll or outfit and then you add the pictures. Near the top of the table is a link labeled, Add a Doll or Outfit. 1st step
When the Add a Doll or Outfit Button is clicked, a form similar to the one pictured below will appear. Here, you enter the title, a numeric display order, select category and a description. Once you're done entering or editing the information, click the Insert or Update Button.
Insert or Edit

Next to each record is a symbol that looks like a greater than charachter circled and marked as step two in the imagte above. When that symbol is clicked, it will change to a V looking symbol appearing to point down. That record will expand and display the detail records associated with that master record (doll or outfit). You will also notice an Add a Picture link. You can add multiple pictures for each outfit. I would suggest that only a few pictures be associated with each doll or outfit. When the doll or outfit is viewed, each of these pictures must load before the record is displayed. If you add too many pictures, it will take a long time for all the pictures to download.
Insert or Edit a picture
When the Add a Picture link is clicked, you will be presented with a screen that looks similar to the illustration above. Each picture can have a brief description. Below the Picture Description field is a blank with a Select Button next to it. Click this button and a dialog will be displayed that assists you in finding the picture on your computer that will be uploaded, resized and associated with the doll or outfit. Finally, click the insert link and the picture and picture description will be saved.
