<h1>Uploading photos and GPS tracks</h1>
<h2>The end-result you are trying to achieve</h2>
What you are trying to do is to get your happy holiday snaps appear properly indexed with all the others from the previous decades of expo history. You can see them all here: <br /> <a
href="http://expo.survex.com/photos/">http://expo.survex.com/photos/</a><br />
which is the end result. But all you have to do is to upload the photos to the right place. A hidden script does the hard work to make it all look nice.
<p>If you are really lazy (or really a beginner) you can use the initial simple method for the photos you have taken of cave entrances [for cave survey and prospecting purposes] so long as you label the filenames of the photos very carefully and tell an admin/nerd what you have done.
<h2>Simple instructions</h2>

<p>The expo website has a big section under 'home/expo/expofiles/' that is <b>not under version control</b>. This is dangerous as there is no backup. If you overwrite some important files with your holiday snaps then we are in big trouble. This is where we store big files that we don't want to keep multiple versions of.

To make the admin's life easier, create your own folder in <pre>/home/expo/expofiles/uploads/</pre> with your name like this: <pre>/home/expo/expofiles/uploads/YourName/</pre> and put your files into that folder. ("YourName" should have no spaces, hyphens or underline characters.) So that the admin knpows who is responsible. And for goodness sake please don't upload lots of duplicate photos: cull them first to just the good ones.
