First impression of Omeka

I added an item in Omeka but it didn’t go into my collection. I thought it would because first I went to collections and then I selected my collection and then I went to “Add an Item.” However, this didn’t exactly work. I added an item but it ended up in no man’s land! Super confusing. Also, is there a way that I can import an item into Omeka and not have to go through the tedious process of having copy and paste the information into the Dublin Core fields. I’ll just work at it until I get my 15 items IN my collection.
