Koinup provides you with a spot for photos about games and virtual worlds. You should NOT post real-life pictures to Koinup; they will be deleted by an administrator.

After you set up an account, you can embed code from every photo into a Web page, wiki, or blog.

Must-dos: TITLE it, TAG it, then share it.

• JPG format photos are best. They are small and upload easily
• Give every photo a title so visually impaired readers can recognize the image with screen-reading software
• Tag photos with eng103 and other one-word tags so searchers can find them easily.

Example:

I uploaded this photo to Koinup; it is a random shot I took while doing a bit of exploring:

To upload to Koinup, here's how:

• Log in to your account and choose the "upload" option at the top of the page:
• Select the correct "world" for your project (SL, Open Sim, or "other" for a shot from Metaplace if you explore it later)
• Pick "Picture" from the three choices
• Click "add files" and find the photo(s) on your hard drive and then click the "upload works" button to upload
• Tag them with one-word tags. This one got "iggy" and "richmond" and "eng103" since it is about our class.
• My driving phonots usually get "roadtrip" too. You can invent the tags you need. Tags help viewers find and sort through the millions of images at a photo site.  The enable groups collaborating to mark their work for searches, too
• Add it to our Course Group in Koinup.
