Adding images was pretty easy. Adding annotations was not. Creating collections was not. Sorting and rearranging images was not. I find that regardless of the computer I am using, making annotations, rearranging images and creating collections fails 90% of the time. It would seem simple enough, on the surface. But the actual workings of the process are prone to more misses than hits. Drag and drop is more like Drag and lose. I can't make collections work for me after quite some time spent trying. When annotating, be sure, users, that you place the box exactly on what you wish to annotate and resize it to enclose only that area. I really am happy about the ability to see so many things, and I plan to make frequent use of this site. I merely want to bring these issues to someone's attention. I have a lot of material that I wish to upload and share in an easily accessible manner, and at this rate it will take some considerable time to accomplish that goal given the problems I have encountered.
