1. Login: Access the service using your trial account username and password.

2.Use Wizard Mode to get started: The first time you login to the FolioLink Service you will be in Wizard Mode. Follow the Wizard mode instructions to create your first front page, portfolio and image pages. When you are ready, exit Wizard Mode to create text pages and to have access to all the other features of the service.

3. Choose a Layout Template: Layout designs are used by FolioLink to quickly add a web design and color scheme to your images and text pages. FolioLink allows you to change designs at any time without having to reload images or recreate any pages.

4.Create a Front Page: This is the page that launches your web site and is often referred to as the home page. The front page may show your logo, web site title, a main image, a flash movie, introductory text and more.

5.Create One or More Portfolios: Portfolios are the launching pages for your series or bodies of work. FolioLink uses portfolios to group related bodies of work. The portfolio page allows you to create an entrance page where you can describe the motivation behind a series, etc. This page usually shows a main image or group of images to entice the viewer to enter.

6. Add/Upload Images to your Portfolio(s): The process is much the same as creating a portfolio. At first, you will have only one portfolio, but as you work with FolioLink you will likely have two or more. A nice feature of FolioLink is that images can be swapped back and forth between portfolios and images may be ordered in any way.

7. Preview your Web Site!: Click on the eye icon found in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
