Pictures are important. Just to run down a few ways in which you can easily get your photos up for others to see and download:Yahoo Groups! is a choice. After the free registration, you can create albums of uploaded images. You can even create a list to which you will be able to mail updates. Photoshop Elements and iPhoto will both create an .html photo album that you can distribute via your web host (by uploading) or your intranet. a .Mac account will make it easy to upload images, but you have to pay for the account.Google for "free photo hosting" - you will find a very long listing.Make a blog and upload your images to it. If you are clever, you will be able to find one that does not require .html or having the images available on a server.NiceNet accounts and Think.com accounts, for teachers (my audience here) make image upload a snap. Which brings us to my latest find:
Phlog
I have Andy Carvin to thank for Phlog. You might want to go directly to his blog to read about it (April 03, 2004 posting: MobilPhlog. Basically, all you do is set up a free account, with a minimal amount of information, then email your photos to the address they give you. You can send them as attachments or, as I do, drag them into the body of the message. I chose to have thumbnails shown instead of full images. Be sure to check out the rss feed to this image page in the right column! It probably doesn't come as any surprise that this is, infact, a blog! That is how the RSS feed is possible. So my feed is going from one blog to another. Pretty handy and costing me no server space. A few things that might keep you from making my mistakes..
Be sure to delete any signatures before sending off your message.The Subject line of the message is the blog entry title - make it short and informational.You have to send images in separate messages.You can use Phlog as a blog too! It is not as nice as this one yet, because it does not have templates - if you want to change the look, you need to know CSS. Notice this - no ads!!
Next message will ramble over some ideas I am having about The Reluctant Teachers.
