I used to use the online Kodak Gallery to store photos but then realized that the quality of my pictures are reduced when I upload them on there. Then when our computer crashed last summer and lost a lot of original pictures... I was upset.
SO, I found Flickr. The reason I started using it was because I can upload pictures on there and the quality remains just as good as if you had gotten it straight from my camera's memory card. You can download the pictures to your own computer and you can also order prints.
However.... the Flickr site isn't quite as easy as the kodak gallery for some users.
I have written out some instructions to help you out...
FIRST
Sign In
If you already have a yahoo account, flickr is through yahoo, so use your yahoo sign in.
You can click HERE to sign in now.
If you don't have an account yet, you'll have to create a free one for yourself.
You can click HERE to do that.
After signing in, go to our flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/andigraham/
FINDING CERTAIN PHOTOS:
You can search for specific photos by entering "tags" or words. There is a search box in the top right hand corner that has gray text in it ("search andigraham's photos).
Click in that box and enter one or more words. For example, type in "Joey" to see all pictures with Joey in them. Type "Christmas" to see all Christmas photos or "March 2008" to see this months photos. You can also type in "Joey Evan 2008" to see all pictures taken in 2008 with both Joey and Evan in them.
ORDERING PRINTS:
Click on a picture you would like to order.
Right over top of the picture is bunch of small words.
Click on the words that say, "Prints & More", choose the sizes and quantities and "add to cart".
DOWNLOADING PICTURES TO YOUR COMPUTER:
Click on a picture
Right over top of the picture, click on the words that say, "All Sizes".
At the top, you can click on all kinds of different sizes of the picture.
When you find the one you want, click on "Download the (whatever you chose) size".
