Click the "User CP" link on the left-hand side of the header bar. In the left column under "Your Control Panel" look under "Networking" for "Pictures & Albums." Clicking on that will take you to a page where you can "Add Album."

not much progress I'm afraid. I still have to figure out what i want to do about the mountains

i might investigate the gradient mesh tool although i suspect it might be to involved to be a practical solution

i wish the CC3 sold patterns and brushes for illustrator

May I enquire as to how you did that with the water levels? If I may be so bold that is

water contours.... dark to light

Looks to me like taking a layer, setting the darkest area you want as a very dark blue and then take a lighter colour, making a contour, taking an even lighter color, and so on until you have the size of continents you want, then blurring it.
