OK so, being the groups "Luddite" I will confess I'm a simple man. I
have no need to have the latest of the latest gadgets with all the bells and whistles. My computer is about 10 years old and takes up a lot of room. maybe I ought to get a lap top.. oops sorry. "Notebook" is the new catch phrase I assume. My cell phone is about 4 years old, it's a Motorola v-197, it's been faithful, but it's bare bones, no camera, hard to surf the 'net with it. I can get the news from the NYT or USA TODAY and that's about it. and it takes for ever to load. And I ahve to watch my time or I go over the 'net limit. The filthy thing isn't even set up for me to send a text, but that's ok, I dont' know how to send one in my life depended on it. I dont' have a news reader and am not either sophisticated to use one and really don't have the desire to find out how. I access this, and other USENET boards via Google groups and that's satisfactory to me. It's as primitive as you can get but it does the job. I could go on about my old-fashioned and sometimes backward ways but what's the point. You all get the picture. HOWEVER! just recently, I opened up a Google PICASA 3.8 account and transferred a bunch of pictures on it. OK so that's cool, NOW comes the tricky part. I've transferred over a gob of pics and now I find I dont' have the ability to post an album etc. and I've found very little online support to do so, or at least support that I can understand easily. I have some boat pics I'd like to share with you all, but until I can figgah it out, they'll stay on the storage disk. Oh well, I'll get it eventually I suppose but if anyone has any decent suggestions (besides light fire to my hard drive!) I'm up for ideas. Tim |

You can designate which album you want to upload pictures to within your computer's Picasa application. There's a setting that lets you determine how you're going to share the album, whether it's (1) open season (anyone can see 'em), (2) using a URL address that contains a passcode and lets Picasa know that whomever is using that address has been given permission, or (3) you want no one to see them. I use the second option and send or post the URL for the album. |

I have the site http://www. trip-reports.com which is a nice littel script for putting up pics. It's not perfect but I can send you a login and password and a quick step by step that will walk you through posting to the site... I will call you later with more details but I can set it up so even a luddite like yourself can get 'er done... See you on the phone. Scotty |

There are easier and more direct ways to post and share photos and albums on line than what I recall Picasa offered. |

I'm not really wanting to get into this very far, but if I could transfer something occasionally that's fine. I might hit up Photobucket as well, but ..... The only app for picture storing and sharing I use is PhotoBucket. So far, I haven't felt a need to explore and try others. sounds cool to me guys. I'll also look over Photobucket. I know they've been around for a few years while other hosting sites have tanked. |
