<p>D has just had some unofficial senior pictures made and I have them on my computer. I had my wife attach one to an e-mail to me and selected friends as a test and it failed miserably. It took forever to load at Dial Up rates (30 minutes but the resolution is outstanding, at least to me it is). Isn’t there a site where I can publish the photos so that they can be accessed from the web? Do those sites then compress it or change the size of the file or what?</p>
<p>Try <a href=“ClubPhoto.com”>ClubPhoto.com;
<p>They must be good guys … they are located in Austin. :)</p>

<p>Imageshack allows you to change the size on pictures…I’m not sure about webshots. I’d go with webshots, though, as it will let you set up an album.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■%5B/url%5D”>www.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■</a> is great.</p>

<p>Photobucket is good. Yahoo! Photos is okay. photos.yahoo.com</p>
<p>Re emailing, you may be able to find where you can change the “settings” - choose “small” or “to be viewed online” or equivalent. This can help in the load rate. Until the big bad world of DSL/cable comes to goatherd territory :).</p>
<p>Run a cable over the state line to one of those radio telescopes they have in New Mexico. Secretly convert the radio telescope to a satellite download device. Enjoy.</p>
<p>Well…I didn’t say it was <em>easy</em>.</p>
<p>What jmmom means is that you right click on the photo from the MS Photo software and go to the send command and it should pop up a window that asks if you want to send it small or big. Send it small:).</p>
<p>^^^ Ah, someone who knows what she’s talking about.</p>
<p>Just someone who had to have this explained to her in detail the other day:).</p>
<p>Very often your internet service provider gives you space to host your own webpage and photos. AOL does this, and so does Comcast.</p>
<p>When I have pics that are too big to comfortably send I edit them using the Paint program. Most computers have the paint program. I use the “Image” dropdown, select “stretch/skew” and change the stretch numbers from 100 to 50… cuts the pic size in half.</p>

<p>You probably need to change the size of the file to a smaller size that will be much easier to email and will not degrade the presentation that much. </p>

<p>at this site, there is a downloadable image resizer for windows xp that allows you to right click the image file and simply change the settings. Its not hard to use and works well, and saves the new file under a different name so you still have the old one. Once it downlloads and installs, you simply right click on any image file and one of the options that appears is the “resize pictures” option. (There is no way to “start” the program other than rightclicking on the image).</p>
<p>dadx, I think I did it. Maybe. 20 minutes big, less than 20 seconds small. Now to wait for my faithful beta tester in Maine to get from …uhhh… wherever she goes in Maine. Lobstertown?</p>
<p>beta tester reporting in from Maine. … huff, huff… Had to rush over here from Cabot Cove where Jessica Fletcher needed a little help solving a thorny murder mystery. That’s where us Maine-ahs hang out when we’re not in Sinners Alley or otherwise occupied on cc.</p>
<p>By jove, I think he’s got it. He resized the dang thing and it arrived. Mudgearella has a face! With a great smile (but we knew that).</p>
<p>It’s a store bought smile but a nice one if I do say so myself. Thanks , jmmom. Say hello to Jessica I always thought that Crap Apple Cove is pretty dangerous country with all the murders and all . Seemed like one a week.</p>
<p>We called that “Murder, She Hoped.” It was dangerous to be a relative of Aunt Jess. </p>
<p>Side note: Angela Lansbury once sat diagonally behind me at a ballet performance at D’s studio. I was good, didn’t say a word, just nodded. Not even a single “Aunt Jess” reference. </p>
<p>Not as exciting as the time that I nearly stepped on Meryl Streep’s hand.</p>
<p>Unintentional. “Crap” should be “Crab”. Sorry. Jeez, I’m useless.</p>
<p>So do we get to see M.'s photo?</p>
<p>Well, alu . So far I have mastered the art of sending one photo to one person. I have not yet figured out the web posting thing yet. I’ll be more than happy to respond to PM’s for emailed photos.</p>
