+How to add new images to the slideshow
+======================================
+
+1. Copy the images you wish to add to the gallery to this folder. The images
+   must be in `.png` format.
+2. Run the `make_gallery.sh` script. This will append the new image data to
+   `gallery.rst`. Alternatively, edit `gallery.rst` yourself if you don't want
+   the new picture to be at the end of the slideshow.
+3. Edit the alt text for the new images you have added in `gallery.rst`; these
+   will be at the bottom of the file. Otherwise they will be captioned with
+   Lorem Ipsum.
+4. Run the `make_html_entry.sh` script. This will rebuild the html part of the
+   gallery automatically.
+5. Commit the `.png` file and the the modified `gallery.rst` and
+   `slideshow.html` files.
