Website for family back in uk
 

Hi,

I'm thinking about making a website to post some photos etc on for friends and family back home,rather than emailing photos left right and centre.

I presume loads of people have done this sort of thing so is anyone proud of their work or does anyone know a good one as I'm looking for inspiration.

It will also take my mind off the current exchange rate. :scared:

Cheers

Take a look at www.blogger.com, a little easier than creating your own website

Hi

I am in the process of making a website for exactly the same reasons.

At the moment i am trying to find out how to put a message board on it as i think that will be the best way to communicate rather than using e-mails.

Also i need to find away of allowing my family to upload there pics onto it from England.

Any ideas ??

A while ago, Worzel recommended MSN Spaces. Here is the link to his web site: http://spaces.msn.com/members/3downunder

You could also try http://www.webshots.com for sharing photos

Yep, I use this for my running log. I also have my own wesbite; links in my signature.

I use picasa2 (http://picasa.google.com/index.html) and found a feature that loads photos to www.photobox.co.uk . Friends and family have to sign up to view the pictures. What is different is that I am able to order prints for friends and family. That has been very useful for helping mum feel a bit closer and show off her grandson.

Picasa has no Australian affiliate yet. You get 200mb of space and 50mb extra for each order on photobox.

Nice site - although you have some malformed html -

Fame at last!!!! :D That reminds me, I need to update.

I have to say, though, that msn spaces is an absolute doddle to use. I totally recommend it. My only concern was storage space for all the photos as I was getting near my limit but they seem to have trebled it.

I use internetphotosdirect.co.uk who will host your pictures for you.

"You can keep your digital photos private or share them with friends and family around the world. We offer you 200MB of FREE album storage, plus another 50MB each time you order! "

They print excellent quality pictures and give next day delivery. The slide show is a really nice feature, where you can add comments to your pictures. I think it would be easier to manage than setting up a website.

I'll PM a link to my pics, just to let you see what I am talking about.

Hi'a

Just had a quick look at your site, it really good.

Do you get charged for this or is it totally free ??

Angie

Re: Website for family back in uk
 

Totally free. It isn't terribly sophisticated and the options such as layout / colour scheme are few but it does what it says on the tin.

Re: Website for family back in uk
 

If you go on www.piczo.com and join (its free) then its a really easy site to use to make a website. u can include a guestbook, pictures and anything else ud like!
if you put pictures on your own made website then you should right click on the pictures 1 by 1 and take the protection copy off of them......that way your family and friends who want these pictures can just right click copy and paste them into a file.

hope it helps
