photos online

[bbensley]

I noticed some people have photos of their nearest and dearest online for others to see. I would like to do this as my mum and dad live 5 hours away with a crappy connection and email photos takes ages for them to download.

I've had a play with photobox after I saw it on the fathers day thread, wonder if there were any others that people would recommend.

I have used www.photobucket.com It is really easy to use, free, seems umlimited space. You can set up lots of different albums. And you can also set it to a read only mode for visitors, which requires password for them to enter.

This is our site if you want to have a look around to see how it works.

Wow, spooky or what? I've literally just set up an album with Photobucket, because I needed the storeage space and because I'd seen Hulababy's pics up there.
Bbensley, although I've only used them for 20 mins so far, I can heartily recommend Photobucket for being easy to upload to and retrieve from.

Thanks I will have a look at yours Hula

Will they be able to print off pictures EASILY as they are a bit technically challenged. Don't want to spend hours on the phone talking them through it - bless them.

Not too bad for pribnting. They can either print the page as it appears on the site, or they can right click and choose to print target - again, has some site details surrounding it but could be cut off.

Or they can click on pciture they want, right click, choose Save as. They then save it to their computer and can print it off as normal through their own computer software.

That sounds easy enough to me, I'm going to stay this week so I can leave step by step instructions.
