Go to your dashboard and click on [b]Manage stories[/b] from the Manage options menu on the left. Or, use the top menu under [b]Stories[/b].
If you do not have any stories started yet, you will get a message. Simply click on the [b]Add a new story[/b] button to create a story.
Give the story a title and some content in the form that you see. Then click on [b]Submit new story[/b].
Don't worry. Its not published yet.
Now add the photos you wish to include in your story by clicking on the [b]Add photos[/b] link on the manage your story page. Clicking on this link brings you into the familiar edit edit photo options you have already used before. All your photos will be displayed in order to assign them to stories. However, to minimize clutter, only the [b]Stories[/b] option is available. Your are simpl;y selecting the pictures you wish to include in your story at this time.
Just make sure to click on [b]Apply edits[/b] under each photo to save your changes. If you want to make changes afterwards, just refresh the page.
Done adding photos to your story? Just click on [b]Manage stories[/b] from the top menu and you will be back at the basic story management menu.
You will now see [b]Edit photos[/b] link instead of the [b]Add photos[/b] link.
Click on it and from, there add the content you wantto display for each photo, set the display order or remove photos from the story.
As you hover over each photo, the edit options will appear. Just make changes and click on [b]Submit edits[/b].
Use the [b]Display order[/b] field to set the order in which the photos appear. 1 would be at the top, followed by 2, etc ... If you messed up and want to stick another picture between 1 and 2, give it a display order of something like 1.5.
Also you can use any number values, you can start with 10, and increment to 20 or 25 ot whatever. Just remember the display order in the story is based on the numeric value you assign.
If you check the Publish checkbox, and apply changes, your story will be published and visible to others.
To view stories, simply click on [b]Stories[/b] from the top menu. Click on the title of a story to view the story.
Layout of the images on the story are balanced between left and right of the page. This is automatically done for you and you have no control over that.
