I was browsing through out Media Library and noticed that there are some duplicate images uploaded to our site. I’ve deleted any duplicates, but in the future, make sure that you only upload the image once. If you made a mistake when uploading, make sure to delete the old one before adding a new one. This will help us conserve space.
Also, while you may use the Media Library to upload your images, the NextGen gallery is a preferred method if only because it allows you to keep your images in specific folders and makes it easier to keep track of where things are. Also, if someone else had uploaded an image that you want to use, you can easily locate it and use it, rather than upload a duplicate (case in point: the Hassam images). Just follow the instructions posted here on how to upload images using NextGen: http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/weinroth2009/class-site-faq/#uploadimage
I know this seems tedious (and that I’m being anal!), but I want to make sure the website is well-organized and works for all of you!
