Ok folks,
I am building and ready to share some pictures.
I understand I need to first put them in or on the gallery. but don't know how.

Hi folks
I am building a Novi 23 and this site has been invaluable. I would like to start a thread and post some pictures. Do I have to contact a webmaster? Is starting a thread appropriate? Any guidance is appreciated.
