There have been many requests for advice on how to use ALFF Achievement certificates, ALFF Love photos, post links, and make your photos visible to everyone visiting your gardens.
We have put together this little “How To” guide to help out the not so computer literate fairies out there! (we were all there once). We have done our best to keep the instructions clear and simple for everyone to follow. The instructions shown are based on a PC user, using the Firefox web browser, so if you are using a Mac or a different browser you may find that the wording
is slightly different in some instances. However, the basic principle should be the same. Your garden can show three different images; your profile picture, your fairy picture and
your garden picture:
• Your profile picture is the same as your Facebook profile picture, and is shown as the left hand picture just below your garden and the “Garden Owners” title bar. This is also the
picture that is shown when you leave a message in someone else’s garden.
• Your fairy picture is shown to the right of your profile picture
• Your garden picture is shown under the “About This Garden” title bar, below, and to the right of your profile and fairy pictures.
HOW TO save a picture to your computer
• Open the page with the picture you wish to use, so that the image is on your screen.
• Hold your mouse pointer over the image and click the right button once, a menu should appear
• Select “Save image as” (or similar depending on the system you are using).
• A window will appear that allows you to browse your computer and select where you would like to save the image to. (If you don’t already have a folder for your pictures, or you are in any doubt, use the default “My Pictures” folder).
• Once you have selected your desired location, simply click “Save”, the image is now stored on your computer.
HOW TO upload a picture to Facebook
• Go to your Facebook profile page and select the “Photos” tab shown to the right of your profile picture.
• If you do not already have an album you would like to keep the image in, you will now need to create a new album following the links and instructions shown on your screen.
• Upload the image from your computer to your Facebook photo album, ensuring that the privacy option is set to “Everyone”, and save your changes.
Editing your Garden Picture
• Go to your garden page, and click the [Edit Picture] link, located just above your current garden picture (if you have one).
• This will take you to a new page showing a yellow box containing four instructions. In option four you will see the words “Click Here” in blue; this is the link you then need to follow to add your picture to your garden.
• From the page that this link takes you to, select the album which contains the picture you require, you will then see the picture this albums contains.
• Select the image you require and it will now be your garden picture. (Selecting the image will take you straight to your garden, showing your new picture!)
HOW TO change your Garden Name and Description
• Go to your garden page, and click the [edit name/description] link, located in the "About This Garden" below your Garden Owner section.
• This will take you to a new page showing 2 sections 1.to change your Garden Name and 2. Description.
• This is where you type in what you want and then click the green box where it says "Save Garden Details".
HOW TO change your Fairy Picture or Name
• As with the garden picture, you will need to have the image you wish to use saved on your computer. Do this by following the steps above.
• On any Fairyland page you will see a red mushroom in the top left hand corner, hover your mouse over it and a box will appear.
• On the left hand side if the box, below the picture shown it will say “Change Fairy’s Name - Change Fairy's Picture” in blue writing, click on the link that you wish to change.
• For the Fairy Picture click on the link and select the “Browse” button; this will open a box that will allow you to navigate to the folder where you previously saved your image.
• Select your required image and either double click on it, or click “Open”.
• Check the box to certify that you may use the image.
• Click the green “Upload” button, and your image will now become your fairy picture.
HOW TO change your Profile Picture
Either
• Tag yourself in the picture you wish to use
• Select “Make this my profile picture” from the list displayed to the right, below the image
Or
• Follow the previous steps for saving the image to your computer
• Follow the previous steps for uploading the image to Facebook
• Select “Make this my profile picture” from the list displayed to the right, below the image
HOW TO Post a Link
• Open the page you wish to link to, e.g. your garden.
• In the address bar on your browser, highlight the text in the address bar, (which is shown in the browser toolbar, at the top of your page) by holding down your left mouse button and dragging the pointer over the text. Let go of the button and the text should be highlighted with a bar of colour (usually blue, or grey).
• Hover your mouse pointer over the selected text and click the right mouse button, the select “copy”. Alternatively you can hold down the “Ctrl” key and simultaneously press the “C” key.
• Go to where ever you would like to post the link, e.g. the group wall, right mouse click again and select “Paste”. Alternatively you can hold down the “Ctrl” key and simultaneously press the “V” key.
• Then post your comment as usual, the text will then become a link in blue writing, which can be clicked on to go directly to that page.
HOW TO create a new photo album for Fairyland and make it visible to everyone
When you create a new photo album and upload pictures, Facebook sets it to be visible to your friends only by default. It is a good thing in general,
because you only want your friends seeing ALL your pictures. However, if you have your Fairyland garden picture in such album, no one but your friends can see it -
it means every fairy who is not in your friends list! The thing to do is to create a new photo album just for Fairyland and make it visible to everyone. This is how:
- Open your Facebook profile and go to photos tab.
- Click on 'Create a photo album' button in the top right just above your pictures.
- Enter album name ('Fairyland', 'Garden pictures', whatever you want). You can leave Location and Description boxes blank, they don't matter.
- Click on 'Privacy' option and change it from 'Friend only' to 'Everyone'.
- Click on 'Create Album'.
Album created! Now you can upload your garden pictures to this album and it will visible to everyone in Fairyland.
(You still have to follow the guide posted above to actually get your picture to your garden)
If you already have a photo album for Fairyland and want to make sure privacy settings are correct:
- Go to the album.
- Click 'Edit info' in the top right.
- It will show you 'Edit info' page with Album name, description and privacy settings. Make sure 'Privacy' is set to 'Everyone'.
- Click 'Save changes'
