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!

Thanks for the article Island Dog. I think the photo albums will be used much more in the new site because it seems much more usable. I only wish the upload functions were Firefox compatible. It looks like it's IE only right now.

Do you know how much space is available for subscribers?

Fairyy~

Yeah..I was going to mention that - you can't upload unless your using explorer ..thats why I kinda forget about it ..

Good article though ID - i think a lot of new subscribers might not know the perks.

Great article and very helpful to new and existing members. Does need to be FF compatible though for more folks to take advantage of this benefit.

The album idea is great, but the space is only a fraction of what I need to get my photos on...

I use PicasaWeb as my photo host. My WC album usually hosts errors in Stardock apps to troubleshoot.

Yep guys, I can see your links, but there's no longer an option on mine to create one, when I click photo's, it's just a 404 Winky page
