Image name Tips: 1. short but specific. I have used GargiWEGita1, GargiWEGita2 etc. 2. Avoid spaces as spaces get replaced by underscore eg. "Gargi WE Gita 1" will become "Gargi_WE_Gita_1", it can be a source of error on adding to user page. 3. Image name should not be common words like 'scene' or 'smile' or 'My Photo' which have the risk of duplication. 4. Image name can be kept as a constant series eg. GargiWEGita1, GargiWEGita2 etc. keep increasing the no. whenever you add new image. 5. Tutorial should give suggestions for renaming, not a strict rule.
