Images

If you are trying to get students and parents to regularly visit the site, one of the easiest wants to do this is to put photographs on it. You can either individually upload them into your select web site platform, or use one of the many image hosting sites out there.

Here are my choices:

> media type="custom" key="270839"
 * 1) [|Flickr] - This is my favorite place to share images with friends and family. I have used it for my class web site, however, there are "inappropriate" images on it and my district blocks it. Additionally, it does not embed slide shows within Flickr itself. You can simply visit [|FlickrSlidr] and copy and paste the "set" or "album" URL you want to embed. Looks pretty slick.

 * 1) [|Picasa] - Because of the blocking of Flickr, I have gone with my second choice. If you own a PC, you can actually also download a very cool image organizer (similar to iPhoto for you Mac users). It is very easy to use and you can either use it to host individual photographs OR slide shows. The sharing options are built right in and allow you to select various sizes.
