don't delete em. Let's pester Elvis to see if he can help us come up with a lasting solution.
 
Sorry, they all have something wrong, it's awful.I think we're all gonna have to buy our own websites somewhere that will let us post here. Any ideas, where should we look? No Geocities or Tripod or Angelfire of course.
 
Hey Naya...have you thought of using Snapfish? Even though it shrinks pics...it's better than nothing. That's what I've been using and I know some other people have too...maybe worth a look?

Thanks hippy for the advice, I will look into that. It's just frustrating when you take the time to organize and upload your pics and then everything gets screwed up.

Sula that's a good idea.

Sadly, MSN does have a limit, and I have hit it *sniff* so many Bono pics and no place to put them. Besides some of the pics come out as red x or refuse to post as anything but the addy. I want a website, I will be glad to pay for it if anyone can tell me how. I went to dazzle but was too dumb to figure it out.

With Sphosting you get 35 MBs, and is not hard.. you just upload your pictures and when you want to post them just post the link.. Is not a photo album webpage.. it's a real server where you put files to create a webpage. I can teach you how to make an album there if you want too

Thanks for your help! 35 or 50 MBs, about how many pics is that?
 
Winter, I am so lame, I went there and uploaded pics and it worked, but how do you make them show up like a real website? All I have are names that will turn into a pic when you click on them. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help!

I clicked on basic upload, and then it gives you the place to upload pics like the webpages do. What I ended up with was a long list of pic names that turn into pics when you click on them. They will show up one at a time when you click their name once they are uploaded, but this is not like a website, I have no thumbnails, no background, nothing like Winter's site, I don't know what in the world I'm supposed to do.

I wish someone who does would enlighten us.
 
Trying to post one I uploaded

I am inept- I can't get the websites Winter told us about to work.

I can upload pics but I have no idea how to make a site. Is it really that hard, or am I making some stupid mistake?

Sadly it has a limit of 10mb of storage. But again: I do recommend it. I've never had any problems with it.

One more question.... how many pics does 10mb hold??

10 ain't much sister. MSN gave me 30 and I ran out at around 800-900 pics (I had 1,600!) so I would say 10 would give you about 200-300 depending on the size. Maybe you could create several accounts lol! If you only have 300 and are happy with that, it's cool. I just think too many of us are picpackrats and have huge collections. I wish I could figure out how to make the site Winter told us about. It has 50 and that would be over a thousand pics! Alas, I am too lame. I got some pics to upload but all I have is a gray list of names to click on, no site. If anyone makes one and can tell us how, or if Winter comes back, please HELP! Good luck everybody.

Everything is ok.. you have to make a webpage by your own.. I think that the easiest way to do it is using FrontPage Express, almost all PCs have this program, is really easy to use like Word or PowerPoint. Just give me some time and I will send you an email explaining everything ok?

It depends of the size of your pictures.. is hard to explain that.. but if you run out of space you can always get another account and put more pics there..

WAAAH! I was afraid of that. I have no idea how to do that, I will try those things you told me but I am totally illiterate in stuff like that. If it's not a make-it-yourself site, I'm out of luck. I don't know anything like that. Thanks for your help though.

I would be happy just with a black page of thumbnails that would enlarge, how do you do that?

Will be easier to explain you how to make your webpage there.. I made one for you, but I would need a list (the links) of all the pictures that you have in your sphosting account.

I have MSN email, I'll email you through your site, THANK YOU!

I guess if you put the first few on I can do it myself?

Wow Winter you are the computer godess!

I would really like to learn how to create webpages...is there somewhere you can refer me that would teach me? I'm so glad I have Spring Break this coming week!

I think I have found my new project!

Thanks for all your help Winter!
