How to use your BCA National Specialty site:
1. This page contains the main menu for all events at the BCA National Specialty. If you can't see the menu, simply scroll further down on this page.
	a. Please check the STATUS button at the top of any BCA gallery to see what images are currently available. This contains a day-to-day update of recent uploaded images.
	b. Please use the ORDER FORM button at the top of any BCA gallery to get pricing information as well as place orders by FAX, email, or phone.

2. Each main event has or will have a link to its associated gallery.
	a. Galleries that are ready for viewing will have colorized, underscored text for the link, either teal or green.
	b. Galleries that are not ready for viewing will have white text, and will not yet have an active link (i.e. clicking on white text will not work).
	c. As we upload new galleries, we will update the menu link and change its text from white to colorized.
	d. A "parent" link (e.g. "MONDAY" or "Agility") will remain white until all "child" galleries and links are available.
	e. Important! Be sure to refresh your browser (in Internet Explorer, hit the F5 button) when you visit to ensure you see the most current version of the BCA home page.

3. When viewing an event gallery, the main page will show you very small version of the contents known as "thumbnails" or simply "thumbs".
	a. Clicking on a thumb will take you to the full-size version.
	b. Clicking on the full-size version will take you back to the thumbs page.
	c. In many cases, there are multiple pages of thumbnails (there are 32 thumbs per page), you will see this referenced on the thumbs' page, and can click to get to each of these.
	d. The full-size versions of the images are watermarked to prevent illegal copying. This watermark is not part of the actual prints that are ordered.

4. Images are named to indicate what day/image number they represent. The 2nd Saturday has the text, "Brd" in the image name to help distinguish from the 1st Saturday of the Specialty (with all-breed herding trials)
	a. Example: "Mon_0002" translates to Monday, image #0002.
	b. For Award photos, the images are themselves titled so as to identify what the Award is: example: "SatBrd_BOB_0042" means Saturday, Award Best of Breed, image 0042.
	c. Important! When placing your order, please include the entire image number so we know exactly which photo you are referring to.

5. There is no need to "sign in" or use a password; the default "Guest" account allows you full access to all the images in the BCA and all other public galleries. (Passwords are only required for private galleries; i.e. family portraiture, etc.).

6. NOTE: All signage for award photos will be put in place when you place your order (i.e. ignore the temporary white board seen in the photo!)

7. If you can't find your photos, or if you are having trouble navigating this site, please email us. It will be very helpful if you tell us what page(s) are causing you difficulty, and what your browser is, and if you are on a PC or Mac.

8. Using the "Favorites" feature needs a bit of explanation.
	a. This allows you to create a list of photos you like so that you can review them as a collection.
	b. It does not provide any kind of online ordering; the most it can do is to email the list of photo names in the collection, but without any other particularly helpful info. It won't allow you to create an order form unfortunately.
	c. The information in "Favorites" is stored as a cookie (a very small temporary file) on your machine. Cookies are used by browsers all the time, and can easily be deleted without you realizing this. If you have created a large list of Favorites photos, we recommend that you email that to yourself regularly. Typically, the cookies are set to expire every 10 calendar days or so, so this list should be considered temporary at best.
	d. A Favorites list is specific to the computer it was created on. Favorites on your work computer will not be the same as Favorites on your home computer.
	e. If I had the time, I'd rewrite how the Favorites feature works, so that it's far more useful. If I had the time...

9. We realize there's a tremendous amount of information we're presenting that represents the entire National; our estimate is that we'll have approximately 1,000 to 1,500 images for your viewing (when including images from the all-breed herding trials). Our goal is to make this easy for you to quickly get to the areas you are particularly interested in. We sincerely hope this will help you easily find your images.
