So, where do we go from WebShots?
It seems there are quite a few of us with a large, disorganized zip file from WebShots (OMG- I had accidentally mis-typed the 'o' in WebShots as an 'i'- rather appropriate right now??? ROFLOL) and we are needing a new *freebie* place to show off the photos of our quilty projects.
Suggestions? Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. |

You can make albums public or viewable only by some people or totally private. It is a google site, so if you are anti-google, it won't do. I've not had any problems with it, using it for about two years. Hanne in DK |

I use Picasa too - nice and simple to use.

Well, I am abandoning all the so-called free sharing sites. In a mad
moment, I decided to construct my own website for photo-sharing. I can't do it without help; but I am getting that and definitely having a go. A bit extreme I know, but I was getting fed up by their changing systems all the time - not to mention the adverts: and I wasn't even with Webshots! Of course, my attempts might fail! Good luck everyone with finding new homes. I was going to mention Picasa, but I see that Sally and Hanne have spoken favourably of their own experiences with it. ..

Pat,
for years I only posted pics on my own webpage, but when I wanted to put more pics up more frequently, I just got tired of the updating. I never did spend any time on setting it up for a bunch of folders etc. That's when I found Picasa :-) Having your own site is good too. There are also photgraphers' sites where you buy space for many, many photos at an annual price - easier to handle and a little more certain than the free sites (but not as certain as your own domain). I think compared to buying hosting, those sites do compare pricewise, if you don't need a website for any other reason. (This is as much for everyone else, since you are setting up your own already).

Thanks Hanne, for your words of wisdom. As I said, I know it is a bit
extreme, but computer stuff gets me so 'fussed' so easily. I make quilts etc so slowly that I need to put up photos rarely. Each time I have been back to Flickr (my site there), there seems to have been a system/method change or some problem with my Yahoo password. I was paying an annual fee to avoid adverts, but I was never reminded when it was due, so this last time I would have had to register all over again. I felt that, if I had an actual person to lead me through the techniques I would fare better. I'm having to be kind to myself these days! I just hope that I won't be disillusioned. So far, so good - I have understood most and feel I can cope. ..

As I have said to Hanne just now, I have not found it (latterly) to be
as easy it was when I first put my photos there. I have been with Flickr for years. I think I should have put photos on more regularly, then the changes wouldn't seem so extreme. ..

Thanks Sandy - I was actually bearing in mind that you had done it; and
I really like looking at your work on your site. I might bear in mind what you say about 'prosy stuff' and try to fix it so that I can put text on as well. It was our monthly group meeting last evening; and I was asked so many questions that, perhaps, it would be good to be able to put instructions etc on the site? .. In message , Sandy Foster writes Pat, I think you'll like doing it this way, once you're more used to how it works. I made that jump some years ago, and I'm very pleased. I can set up my site any way I like (though I haven't changed it in *years*), and I also blog occasionally to take care of the sort of chatty things that doesn't quite "mesh" with the way I have my own site set up. This way, my site has everything organized according to type, while my blog is -- of course -- organized by date. -- Best Regards Pat on the Green |
