Listings Images

 
     

Visual images are often the most powerful feature of your listing. Since your listings manager doesn’t limit the number of photos you can use on each listing, make sure you use as many as needed to convey the strengths of the property. To add photos into an image tour of your listing...

  1. Open any existing listing for editing - or create a new one - and click the Media tab, then click Manage Images.


  2. Click Add Photo to the left of the screen to begin uploading the photos you wish to assign to this listing.


  1. Click Browse and navigate to the folder or device that contains your photos.
  2. Select one or more files in the list and click Open.
  3. Click Upload Files. Your files begin uploading to your site and a progress bar appears to show you the progress of the upload.
         
      Note: If any of your image files is larger than 100k, the built-in Image Optimizer tool appears to help you resize them.  
         

  4. Once you have several photos inserted for this listing:
    • Pick a showcase photo by clicking it and marking the Showcase Photo box.
    • Drag the photos to order them from left to right in the order you want them to appear in your slideshow.
    • Select each photo and then enter a Short title and Description for it. These are displayed for each image when site visitors view the "Image Tour" for that listing.
    • Use Preview Slideshow to see what the Image Tour will look like.
    • Click Delete to remove a photo
         
      Note: If you experience difficulty uploading your pictures, you may want to ensure that your images aren't too large.  In addition to causing you frustration while you’re trying to update your listings, an overly large file size will likely slow the speed of your website for your site visitors. Generally, file sizes of 300 KB or more can negatively affect your site’s performance. For more information on resizing your photos, consult tech doc number 7006 - Resizing Your Images.  
         

  5. Once you are through creating your visual masterpiece, click Save and Close to return to the listing details.
