I'm not sure what you folks use - if any - for storing online images, but I just came across one called Image Event.
My goal was a fast means to have a place where I could add and caption photos myself, without paying my webmaster to put them on my site. I'm just going to have him put the links on my site - probably in a week or so.
Apparently, there's a segment of HTML code that will enable the albums to display within my own web page, but I think there's no real need. The host site has NO ADVERTISING. It's $24.95 per year for:
Up to 1500 MBs - Unlimited bandwidth Privacy ranges from totally private to open-door. About 25 file formats - upload images up to 10 MBs if needed
From various sources suggestions, I tried webshots, ofoto and 2 others. Image Event was the easiest to use, and, as they claim - no advertising. I like being able to tailor the page look and color too.
Since our web site gets about 1/3 of visitors from out of state, or country, I added an Oregon coast album that will grow with time. There's a decorative rock album for customers, and a plant ID album for people with pet birds that use our safe woods for pet birds web page. Tree care is another album. Oregon mischellaneous is a 5th.
All I need, is for my web person to add the 5 titles w/ URLs to my site. Any one album can be accessed by any other, by clicking the white checkbox at page top. Here's 2 of the URLs
It is nice to have a lot of rock in our area. The place with the marble bear is 4 minutes north of me, the others are about 20 minutes away - one NW, the other SW. In noticed when I went to the Oregon coast, the rock selection was much smaller.
I thought the album would be a nice way to streamline communication when I do installation or design plans for people.
There is a more "utility" album on there which is: Tree Care
Many of those images, I've converted to TIFF files for a PowerPoint presentation I developed. If the 2005 Yard, Garden and Patio show gives a heads-up, that may be it's first use, unless a local group needs a tree care + design presentation.
Hey, on that rock, there's a few things in there I'd like too. I may try out one of those fake rock colums some day.
Celebrating 10 years of helping your gardens grow!
