Keywording Tactics

[ibpnyc]

I have been using coppermine for about 4-5 months now and have done all the keywording after I upload the images.

I have two questions:

1 - can I keyword locally and then upload to my albums with the keyword values still searchable?
2 - if #1 cannot be done is there a quicker way to keyword beside the image properties section?


thanks in advance



btw - my site is www.mayfieldsoftball.com
I have been doing everything to try to make this league more enjoyable for my players...so I included a forum and a pic gallery.  soon to come will be the stats page and such.  I would truely appreciate any comments or suggestions that a "noob" like myself can use.
