We have launched a patch for a bug that prevented file uploads from working properly for galleries and file libraries in FireFox. We have not applied the patch to all Waypoint sites yet, but we will be running a script to deploy the patch system-wide soon. If you use firefox and would like the patch applied to your site, we can install it for you easily. Just open a ticket at http://support.twinharbor.com and request that the FireFox bug fix be installed on your site. Be sure to provide the domain name for your site.

When people find your website in a search engine, they see a title and a description. With Waypoint, changing how your site appears in these links is easy!

In Waypoint, you can update any Page's title and description. As you can see in the example above, different pages in your website may appear in search engine results. Each one can have its own title and description. To change these in Waypoint, just do the following:

1. Log into your website using your Waypoint login and password
2. From the admin menu, select My Website >> Pages
3. You will see a list of all the pages in your website. Start with your home page (Default.aspx) and click Page Settings for that page.
4. You will now see the Edit Page Form:
   
   
   
   
5. The search engines will use the Page Title field for the link to your site, and will display a portion of the Description field below it. Update these as you see fit and click the Save Changes button. 

You'll want to do this for your home page primarily, but ideally you should do it for all of your pages since search engines may direct users to specific pages within your site depending on the search criteria.

Note: The Page Link field is how links will be displayed for this page in your Waypoint navbar component (if you're site uses a navbar). 

Once complete, it will take some time for search engines to pick up on this change and include it in their results. Depending on the search engine, it could take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. 

Adding pictures to your website with Waypoint is easy to do once you know where to go. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Log into your website
2. From the Admin Menu, select My Website >> Galleries >> Manage Galleries
3. If you have a picture gallery you wish to use, click on it's name.
   • If you want to make a new picture gallery to store your images, click on Add Gallery.
   • Give your gallery a name and click Save
   • Click the name of your new gallery
4. Click on the Add Pictures Link
5. Click on Choose Files and a dialog will appear. Choose pictures from your hard drive to add to the gallery.
6. Click on the Upload button to begin the transfer.
7. Once complete, you will see the thumbnails of your new pictures. Click on the thumbnails to view the larger versions.
