How to File Your Instructables for Safekeeping

Have you done an Instructable and needed a place to put all of your photos for each project that you made JUST in case something happened during the writing process of your 'ible?

Well today I am going to teach you how to file your pictures neat and orderly so you dont have to stare at 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 photos just to look for a few that you need.

Create Your Primary Folder

Left Click ONCE on a blank area of your compy screen. Now RIGHT CLICK and select "New" and then "Folder". I named my folder " My Instructables" to distinguish it from everything else.

Create the Sub-folders

Now create your sub-folders. these are where you will store your Ibles photos. Name them according to your individual Ibles.ie: how to creat a folder, Make a .BAT file, MSFT Word Simplified, etc.

Organize Photos

Now its time for the daunting task...Organization...look through all the photos on your computer, and put the Ibles photos into their respective folders. Sorry for not having a picture of the task of organizing pictures...that was done before i made this 'Ible.

Voila!!

Now you have just successfully organized your photos. if something happens to your ible online, you at least have a backup to re-publish the ible instead of freak out that you dont have the photos any more!!
