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.
