Do the webpage gods have any tips for getting Google to index my screencaps? The only things that come up from an image search of my site is the header graphic from the entrance page. I have my pictures labeled clearly in the file names (Aykroyd_Dan_Coneheads_##; Belushi_Jim_Thief_##), but is that not enough?

Also, could someone point me to an easy tutorial on how to set up a robots.txt properly? I've found some guides, but they're not very explanatory.

If you need help after reading those two articles, don't hesitate to say so. Not trying to brush you off with canned answers.

The robots file was helpful, thanks! I had searched their help, but didn't manage to find that one the first time.

I had already opted in to the image search...and that Image Labeler thing seems pretty...yeah, wtf?

It's a trick to get people to tag images by making them think it's a game.

The images spider doesn't crawl as often as the web spider, so it'll take a little longer to get indexed.

I put in special lines for the image spider in my robots.txt, so I'm hoping that might help some.
