Website and Photo Updates
As i mentioned previously, I’ve been updating the website. The ‘theme’ that is implemented now will be the default look. If you have any feedback on how the page looks or navigates, please feel free to comment on the page or write to me. I’m guessing feedback may range from the page being too dark or the font being too small, but I’m not sure. I find it easy to use and read, but do you?
Viewing photos also has a new option: viewing via //Smugmug
The reason why I chose Smugmug is the look and feel appeals to some of our visitors, as opposed to my //Flickr account. I’m guessing people do not want to sign up for a Flickr account (which is free) or simply don’t want to sign up for a Yahoo! account. I still prefer Flickr as a service, but understand the appeal of Smugmug. Either way, you now have two methods to view photos.
I do not have all the photos posted to Smugmug yet, but I will work on it. I have password protected several photo galleries on Smugmug, as individual photos cannot be password protected. In order to view those galleries, you will need to provide the password to the gallery. It’s a simple question, but if you do not know the answer, please write to me for guidance.
Photos can be ordered from both services. To order photos from Flickr, you need to be on my Friends and Family list. When you are a member, you can order photos, which are printed by //Target, and either have them mailed to you or you can pick them up at your local Target store.
You can also order photos through Smugmug. They will mail you the photos. I think the photos are more expensive than ordering them through Flickr, but I do not know if there is a quality difference. I’ll need to order some photos for comparison.
Anyway, back to more web stuff.
