Wincustomize Subscriber Benefits - Photo Albums
Post your Pictures!
Monday, December 11, 2006 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization
One of the benefits of being a member of WinCustomize is the ability to create your own personal site. Your site will have its own address such as http://islanddog.wincustomize.com. I put this url in my signatures on e-mail, online forums, etc. It directs people to my site where they can view my gallery, articles, and my photo album, which we will talk about more.
Your personal site includes a photo gallery where you can upload photos for you to share. I used it this weekend and realized some people might not be aware of this feature.
Here is my photo gallery on my personal site at WinCustomize. Please note that my site is currently switched to the wc2k7 test site, so yours might look different, but should operate in the same fashion.
So on my site you can see me standing in line for a Wii early in the morning, or the pictures from when I met RomanDA. It's an easy way to post your pictures which you can share with anyone you wish. You can upload your pictures to your WinCustomize site, and send the url to your family, friends, or anybody you want to view your pictures.Once your personal site is setup, you need to go to the "Photo Management" page in your photo gallery. From there click "Add Album", and now you will be able to create your photo albums where you can organize your images. Enter the title and description of your new album, and click the "Add Album" button.
Now you should be ready to add some photos to the album you just created. Click "add photos", and you will be taken to the photo upload screen.
Just browse to the location of the photos you want to upload, select the photos, and click "send" to transfer them to your WinCustomize photo album.
Now your new photo album with your images will be shown on your WinCustomize site. I can just send the the url to anyone I want so they can view my pictures. It's a great way to share your pictures!
This is just one many benefits of subscribing to WinCustomize. You will get your own personal site, no ads, no download limits, and much more!

Lantec, there is a photo's link, but it's a 404, I don't know why, I just can't create one

Might be browser specific. I know I have to use IE to do any management.
It could also be one of those items Andrew had taken off-line while the site got "updated" during last spring-summer and never got back on-line.

Try to create an album or upload a new photo and see if it works then. Several of us tried this last year (might have been 2007 actually) and then the albums broke completely and have remained broken.

Can't Bebi, when I click on the photo's part of my profile, that's when it takes me to a 404 lol

They have never worked for me, I get the 404 error and it has been broken for some time. It might be good to fix something before we extoll the benefits of a perk!

I can visit my Photos page. I have not tried to upload any recently. There are several already there from before. I will see if I can upload to my new site. The others are on my old site.
