Pinkies Share Your Photos!There are many different ways to share your photos on line, but for this tutorial we will be using the Yahoo! Photos service. Yahoo! Photos has several advantages. If you are already a member of the Pinkies Yahoo! Group you will have a Yahoo! ID, so signing up for the service is easy. Also, your personal storage space is unlimited, so you can upload and share those 583 photos of your skiing holiday if you really want. This will also help take the load off the limited storage capacity of both the Pink Singers website and the Pinkies Yahoo! Group. Finally, you can't beat the price - it's free! How Do I Prepare My Computer to Share Photos?If you are a complete novice, you are advised to open a second broswer window so that you can swap back to this window as you go along. Step 1: Surf to the Yahoo! Photos Website and sign in
Click on Don't have a Yahoo! ID?
Step 2: Create a new album
Click on the picture of a photo album to create a new album.
Enter a title for your photo album then choose the option to keep the album private. This will ensure that only people you have invited to view the album will be able to see it. You can leave the other options unchecked. Note that we don't advocate uploading those types of photos, but if you must, then please tick the 'Age Restriction' box! Step 3: Download and install the photo upload software
This step configures your computer and web browser to upload photos. You will only need to do this once. Click on 'Get Started' to proceed.
Follow the instructions on the next page carefully. This varies from browser to browser. Essentially you need to download the software and install it. When you are done, close and restart the browser, then go back to the Yahoo! Photos website. Your computer is now ready to start uploading photos! How Do I Upload Photos and Create an Album on the Web?Now that your computer is configured to upload photos, go back to steps 1 and 2 above to sign in and create a new album. This time, instead of being asked to download the software, you will be taken directly to the page shown below. Step 1A: Choose your photos by 'drag and drop'
This is the main console for uploading photos. You can add photos to the album either by dragging and dropping the photos on the album as described here, or by loading the files directly using the 'Select Photos' menu (see Step 1B).
To add photos by drag-and-drop, open the folder on your computer or camera where the photos are stored. Click on the photos you want to add, and holding the left mouse button down, drag them across to the photo album window. Let go of the mouse button to drop them there. You can choose more than one photo at a time.
The photo filename appears in the list of files to be uploaded. Step 1B: Choose your photos by 'Select Photos'
To add photos by this method, click on the 'Select Photos' button.
This opens a file selection window. Go to the folder where your photos are stored to show a list of filenames, then choose the filenames of the photos you want to add. YOu can choose more than one. When you are done click on 'open'.
The photo filename appears in the list of files to be uploaded. When you have chosen all the photos you want to upload, click on 'Continue' to proceed to the next step. Step 2: Upload your photos
When you click on the 'Continue' button, the upload process begins. You will see the blue progress bar fill in from left to right as this occurs. Please wait until all the files are uploaded.
You will be informed when the upload is complete. Now you can view your album, or share it with others! Step 3: View your album
If you click on 'View Album' you will be shown the thumbnails of the images you have uploaded. Click on a thumbnail to view the larger photo.
If you like, you can also add to, remove or edit the photos in this album from this console. How Do I Share My Photo Album with the other Pinkies?Step 1: Share your photos by email
To share your photos with the other Pink Singers, click on 'Share Photos'. This will take you to a page where you can choose different ways of doing this. The simplest is to share by email, so choose that option. Step 2: Address the invitation to the Pinkies
Compose your invitation email by first addressing it to pinkies@yahoogroups.com. You can then add a title and a short message. When you are done, click 'Send'.
That's it! Your photo album has now been shared with the other Pinkies. Sit back and wait for comments! If your photos are really good, they will make it to one of the photo albums on this website.
