FAQs

How many images can I Upload?

For now, each Member is allocated 1 gigabyte of storage in FloriDazL FotoFarm. Depending on the size of the image files uploaded, that comes to about 1,000 to 3,000 images.

How do I access the images once they are uploaded?

To view all of your FloriDazL images go to your Member Gallery. The direct URL to your Member Gallery is: http://wwww.floridata.com/members/membergallery.cfm?membernumber=[your member number here]

What is my Member Number?

This is a number that Floridata assigned to your membername when your registered. To learn your member number go to your Profile where it is displayed beside your member name.

How do I change the name and other information associated with an uploaded picture?

Go to your Gallery Manager page where you can view your images. Click the "edit" link to update the image's information or the "delete" link to permanently remove the image from your Gallery.

What is the URL for the images that I uploaded?

Your images reside in a personal data bucket on the Amazon S3 server that uses your Floridata member number as its name. The URL for each image consists of the name of the service, your member name and the image filename in this format: http://s3.amazonaws.com/Floridata0/1/Sprekelia_formosissima800d.jpg
This first part in bold is the same for every image. The "1" in red is Jack's member number, your images will use your number. The remainder is the filename of the image.

What is the HTML to put a FloriDazL image on my own web page?

This is an Image tag that displays one of Jack's photos:

<img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/Floridata0/1/Sprekelia_formosissima800d.jpg" />

Here is what that code displays when scaled to thumbnail size (200x150)
