One beef so far

Got my Rave invite and was setting up the notebook....finished stuff and the
only way to load a pix of items is via flicker.......I hate flicker as for
me on a slow dial up it takes forever....all of my pixs are saved on my hard
drive, so other than not being able to post pixs so far looks good and I
found a group for Dayton area knitters.

It would cost the Ravelry owners far too much money to host all the pictures
of all the people on Ravelry, so that's why a photo host like Flickr is
necessary. I signed up to test using Photobucket (which I far prefer), but
it still requires uploading pictures to a photo host. The only pictures
hosted on Ravelry servers are the avatar pictures you load into your own
profile. I hope you enjoy Ravelry as much as I've come to.

Just as an aside, I also have all my pictures on my hard drive as I would
never trust any photo hosting service with my only copies. Just the other
day I backed up all my pictures and filled 4 CDs. ;)

Oh Mirjam, I think most of us will still check in here too.... it's quite
easy to check messages here a few times a day (which I do), and I leave
Ravelry up the whole time I have my computer on. Why don't you sign up for
Ravelry too? I'll bet you'd have a great time looking at all the knitting
and crochet projects.

Ok that makes sense. So far I like it and I view it as an additional source
for my fave hobby and love all the adsG

Just as an aside, I also have all my pictures on my hard drive as I

Me too, my blog is hosted via my website domain and I can store pictures
there too but will always have them on my PC and thumb drive.

No sweet Mirjam...no chance of that...usenet is my first love and nothing
will take it's place.

Mary

It's an online community dedicated to hand work like knitting,
crochet, and I guess even sewing. I've been too busy to sign up, but
my friend did, and it took her a month to get her invite. They are in
the beta testing phase and are adding a couple hundred people every
day, but with thousands in line all the time now, it takes time to get
processed.

You sign up at www.ravelry.com.
