Welcome to the 21st Century! Some thoughts on everyone's comments... 1. Real Names? That is just silly...usernames have to be unique...as soon as the 2nd John or Mary tried to use those as usernames there was a problem. And if they did allow it...there would be endless "Which John are you?" or "Which Mary said that?" 2. Creepy factor...yes at first it may be creepy to be able to Google yourself...but just how many people ACTUALLY GOOGLE YOU? Probably just you. 3. Protect yourself in all things techy AND NOT TECHY TOO... identity theft happens more when somebody goes through your trashcan than from the Internet. Or from people clicking on SPAM emails telling them about discount Viagra, their lottery winnings in Liberia, and how much girls in some third world country want to "meet you". FLorida actually has a site that will help you learn more about protecting yourself online: http://www.safeflorida.net/safesurf 4. Photos - be careful. Make sure there are no identifiers about where you live...house numbers, car license plates, etc. And no pics of minor children unless site is secure. And monitor your children too. 5 A. It's called Web 2.0 and YOU WERE TIME MAGAZINE; Person of the Year for 2006 ( http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,20061225,00.html) This wonderful year allows ALL OF US to participate and share our learning and opinions with the world. The world gets smaller every day because of it. 5 B. I graduated HS in 1981 and yesterday, my HS Principal became one of my FaceBook friends...what a wonderful world where that can happen...that I can tell him and others how they influenced the person I have become. As with anything...be safe AND enjoy! Tam the Nerd Here is a link that might be useful: SafeFlorida.Net

well darn I posted a reply but it apparently disappeared into the nether land. I did go to the site and read all the info I could find, I like that it does sound like it is private and only those you share a direct link with can view it. The things that caused me a little concern was the very sparse and strangely worded terms of service. Also they say they DO allow adult content which is very strange all other hosting sites prohibit it strongly. Also some of the grammar and spelling is very poor which suggest a site outside of the US which can be ok but normally on this type of site you would at least want a polished appearance. I am willing to try it out though. I still prefer imageshack over all but I don't upload a lot of pics.

I'm so sorry, meggypeggy. That's what happens when I don't look at user names. I so appreciate your help, I would have never found that on my own. I never understood that 'common folders' bit anyway. Please accept my apologies and again, thank you very much... Jane

The pictures won't budge to either upload or download them. I wonder if you might be able to just drag and drop them into 'Your Pics' on your computer. It looks like there are some folks from the Admin Group (ArcSoft_Jason) who have some recent replies answering questions. That's such a wonderful undertaking, writing your husband's biography. Hopefully there is some way of rescuing the pics from their captivity on your computer. Know any young geeks? Some kids/teens seem to be able to do so much on computer, without any real training. Tomorrow is another day and maybe things will work out. Yes, maybe tomorrow it will all work out. Hope so. Sue You don't sound grouchy...but I'm sure you are quite disappointed and aggravated about the many old pics you can't access. Good luck.
