EDIT - Okay, it's up and running. Some very basic albums are created for you to start posting your pics for everyone to see! You can post in your own 'member gallery' OR you can post them in content specific galleries I've created. As always, this is just the jumping off point. I know it's going to need some changes to make it better and more useful, so keep your ideas coming! What other categories can we use? Would sub-categories benefit us?
To use: Click the link in the menu bar called 'Gallery'. You will see an 'Upload Photos' link on the right. Click the link, choose the gallery you want to upload to, and then browse to your photos to upload.
Have fun! I look forward to seeing all your great shots!
For the next couple of days I'll be working on the Photo Album feature. There is a more 'enhanced' photo album that I am working to implement here. I'm letting you know this because until it's completely up and running, the current Photo Album links may temporarily send you to a bad page.
Here's where I can use some feedback from you guys...
There isn't a way to import the current photos into the new system, so I want to keep both online. How would you like to see the links to get to both albums? What would make it easy to distinguish between the 2?
Here are some of the features you'll see in the new Photo Album...
