Ben,
Help! I'm having problems uploading playspaces! I uploaded a playspace including about eight photos. Then I uploaded a second space. When I went back to the second space, it kept coming up no results found. After about the fourth try it came up. I then checked the first space it came up fine. That was this morning. I just got back online and wanted to check the spaces to see if anyone viewed. The first space came up twice (on the same page -that didn't happen before) and no Pictures! I still have 20 more to go Yikes!
Thanks,
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
Sorry to hear you are having troubles. I might recommend uploading a couple pics for the first go-round (just for your own sanity!) Then, once you've reached your goal of 20, you or another volunteer from your community can go back and add aditional pictures to the entries. Below I'm attaching some walk through directions for the Playspace Finder, please do not hesitate to contact me or "webmaster [at] kaboom.org" if you continue to have problems. - Ben
You can upload your playspace here:
http://www.kaboom.org/playspacefinder
Start by finding the photos on your computer (the photos must be digital). Put them someplace convenient on your hard drive where you can find them again. You don’t have to resize anything. The system will do that for you automatically.
Next go to http://www.kaboom.org/playspacefinder
Click on the Add button
Start filling out the forms. Fill out as much as you can. When you get to Step 4, you save it. Until that time, the information is not saved. You can move back and forth and change it. After you hit “Save”, you’ll be asked to upload photos and make a comment.
Click on the Browse button. That will let you look at your hard drive. Find those photos in that convenient spot you put them into a few minutes ago.
Highlight the photo you want to upload and click Open.
If you want to put in a description, that would be great, but you don’t have to.
Click Save.
That will upload the photo to the site. The page will refresh (kind flicker and come back) and you’ll see your photo.
If you want (or need) to return to a playground you added to Playspace Finder, we have a cool new feature that will help.
Go to kaboom.org/playspacefinder, and if you are not already, login with your username and password.
Once logged in, scroll down the page and look to the right. Underneath the menu, you will see this:
Its a list of all the playgrounds you have entered into the Playspace Finder! Now you have easy access to playspaces for adding new pictures and comments. Copy and paste the links in emails to your friends and family, so they can add their own comments!
This should come in very handy for those of you working on playspace audits for Playful City USA applications. Let us know if it does!
