These minutes will be VERY brief because we do not have a recording secretary. Also John Barker is being tutored by John Sturges on how to use Front Page 2003 to get these minutes onto our website. Wish me luck!

M.I.G.S. Q What is the best way to email a lot of pictures to several people? ME,2000,XP

Sending a series of pictures by email can be very slow especially if you are on a dial-up connection. There are a number of photo sharing sites on the web. I recommend www.bubbleshare.com/.

There are a number of recently uploaded photo albums that you can view. The slide show defaults to a 5 second view but you have lots of options. You can “Pause” the slideshow. You can select from thumbnails.

Once you have paused or selected a picture you can use a magnify tool for a 3X digital zoom of a portion of the picture. You can make the picture into a jigsaw puzzle.

The original poster can include captions or even a verbal narrative if he/she is so inclined.

Lots of neat stuff. Be sure to scroll way down to the bottom and read the Help and FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions).

Instead of emailing all the pictures, all you do is tell your recipients how to find your pictures on Bubbleshare.
