Updated FAQ about using the people tagger for images

Michael of course - add town icons to profiles, that's why I uploaded -- to be used!

Not sure LOL cat should go on Colonial American profiles though, a bit ahistorical :)

just wasn't sure where and what you wanted em on.. but i think most of the Colonial American profiles in the project would be approriate no?

I don't think anybody has old photos of them yet but when they do

Michael - tag the profile (if it has no other image we can find such as a tombstone or house) with the town icon they spent most of their life.

Just go ahead and tag using your best judgment. It's easy to correct or add images.

I've now added close to 90 Colonial American town seals (mostly from Wikipedia).

They are available for anyone to use for any profile they seem appropriate. The "primary" image on a profile can always be reset, so there's never a "mistake" to add a town icon!

Hope this method shows how easy it is to tag a profile with one of these images:

1) go to http://www.geni.com/projects/Chase-Lane-Rundlett-Huntoon-and-surrou...

Or you can navigate there from Projects > Chase, Lane (etc) > Photos and documents > View all (hyperlink in upper right corner)

2) select the image desired and click on it.

3) As example: http://www.geni.com/photo/view?album_type=project&photo_id=6000...

That's the Concord MA town seal

4) under the image, you will see

In This Photo:

5) press [edit]. This opens up a box where you can type in a profile name (hint: visit it 1st to put in Geni's short term memory)

6) The DONE button saves it and adds to the list. Press the profile name to return to that profile - and admire your handiwork. :)
