I have my photos stored on Picasa web album, and here's how I upload my photos from Picasa to GW. 1 - I check that my albums are shared with "Limited, anyone with the link", if they're not Public; 2 - I open the photo that I want to upload; 3 - I look on the right side of the photo to locate "Link to this photo" and click on that; 4 - I high-light the codes in the box under "Embed image", then copy the codes; 5 - I return to my post on GW and paste the copied codes. I always got my photos appeared in my post on here. Hope that helps. By the way, I'd like to share photo of my two bulbs recently received from Royal colors. Xuan

Hi Calypsogirl, Have you looked at Picasa? It's a free program for your computer and a website that allows up to 1 GB of storage. The program allows you to organize them in folders on your computer. You can add captions and comments, crop, straighten, adjust contrast, and lots of other special effects. When you have them exactly like you want them on your computer, they have an easy upload button which connects to your online account. I'll give you a link so you can check them out. Good luck - Kathy Here is a link that might be useful: Picasa

Since you are using an external drive to move your photo files from one computer to another, it makes sense to organize the files on this drive to a system that fits your style, and when you get it organized, then merely copy the results to the other computers. The file system you need depends on how many photos you take or collect and how often. One system I use: Create folders (directories) for each year: yr2005 pic; yr2006 pic; etc. And then, within each year folder, create monthly folders. If there are months without photos, leave these out. They can be created later if needed. Include the date of the photo in the file name. The day-month-year format is recommended, e.g., 12Dec2008 Wabash River Bridge. If you take less than 100 photos per year, monthly folders may not be necessary. The system above works for general purpose photos that you shoot, but you may wish to create a different library for other purposes. For example, you collect photos for a genealogical work. You may want to organize by Surname, Subject. Example: SMITH> Cemeteries> Macedonia, Grayhill, Decker, Union, etc. SMITH> Obituaries SMITH> Census; Buildings; Autos; Possessions
