Home > Screen-by-Screen Help > Step 1: Getting Started > Start tab

Start tab

On this tab, you can:
  • Create a new Web gallery
  • Modify an existing Web gallery  

Create a new Web gallery

Select this option when you run the program for the first time or when you want to create a whole new Web gallery Web site. then click Next to get started.

Modify an existing Web gallery

Choose this option if you have already created a Web gallery and you want to modify it (e.g., add new albums, add or remove media from existing albums, change your Web gallery theme, etc.).

If you select this option:

  • The Browse window becomes active and shows the file path for your most recent Web gallery
  • Click the Browse button to find and open a Web gallery that is located in a different path

NOTE: All gallery information you enter in Shozam is stored in a WebGallery.xml file. This file is generated, together with all gallery files, when you click on the Generate button in Step 5 of Shozam. To modify an existing gallery at a later date you will need to browse to the folder which contains the respective WebGallery.xml file. TIP: That folder has the same name as the Gallery title you provided in Step 5 of Shozam and is located at the Gallery location path, also identified in Step 5.

Adding images and/or albums

You do not need to create a new Web gallery if you just want to add more images or albums. Select the Modify an existing Web gallery option, click Next and the wizard will take you to Step 3: Manage Albums in this Gallery. From this point:

  • To create more albums, click Next to go to Step 3 and click the New album button. This will take you back to Step 2 where you can add and manage media for your new album. Once you are finished, name your new album, click Next, and you will see all of your albums on the lefthand side of the panel.
  • To add images or media to an existing album, click the album thumbnail of the album to which you want to add media. Then click the Modify album pages button in the Edit album section. The wizard will take you to Step 2: Manage Media in this Album where you can add the media you want.
