A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2004 WEBSHOTS

Every time I want to look at someone's webshots, I have to try to remember what post I saw the link in. So, thought I'd start this for webshots and other online albums, so even if this thread gets buried, all we have to do is type "webshots" in the forum search and it'll pop right up!

I saw a plant in someone's webshot album last week that is one of my mystery plants, and now I can't find it!

That's a very cool idea ms. cindy! I've been looking for Phil and Laura's for a while now ^.^
I put mine in my signature

Jiffy\'s pictures

we did have a post going for a while with everyone's garden pics on it, but it got lost in the aging process, so this is a good way to start it again... thanks cindy

(mashed taters, huh?)

Thought I'd add my webshots albums to the list.

I love looking at everyone's pictures here -
vicarious thrills, ya know?!?

Lynne\'s webshot albums

p.s. the albums need updating - will try to do that soon!

OK - just added a bunch more pictures to my outdoor album at Webshots.

Enjoy... Lynne

edit: well... I just found out that I can only add 5 pictures per day on the free webshots site! This will take much longer than I thought to update! Sorry...

pssss.. that's why I use yahoo. (Ok, yea, I know, yahoo isn't the greatest, but lotsa storage for photos.. just can't hotlink em.) Ya gotta do this instead .

*warning* too many albums in my yahoo!! LOL.

If you download the software, you can add as many pictures as you want to, all at once The software does have an annoying lil tray icon that shows up every time you turn on the computer though. Make sure you set it so it doesn't automatically change your desktop wallpaper, or screen saver if you don't want it to do that.

Phoebe, up until my recent puter crash, webshots was my wallpaper/screensaver of choice. I'd fill it up with my own photos of things I'd either take pics of, or of stuff I'd find on the net. I liked how it would rotate daily, or every couple hours, depending on how you'd set it. I guess I need to go get it again.. either that, or see if it's a program Steve saved on cd for me before we got wiped out.

Meg

Can anyone help me? I have my pictures at Picturetrail. I can have 500 pictures or 50MB. I have already run out of space with only 46 pictures. How can I small them down?

I am going to guess that you have Windows for your Operating system. In windows, you have Paint, which is under your start button.. "Programs" then "accessories" then "Paint". With paint, you can view your photo, and in there is a tool that says "stretch/skew", go to that, and keep your percentanges the same on vertical & horizontal, either 50% or 75%, whatever size you feel is better. Don't bother with the skew, it'll make it funny shaped. <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" /> If you need more help.. just ask.

Meg

If you need to just lower the file size and keep the same picture size, there is a killer tool I have (free) that is SUPER! It's called JPG Batch File Converter. It also changes gifs, bitmaps, etc. to jpg for you with a click of a button. I use it MANY times a day. I'll find the link and put it here.

jpg file converter

Here it is. If I'm not allowed to put that there like I did, I'm sure Bill or someone will come along and let me know!

Cindy, is that easy to use? I downloaded Irifan and couldn't figure out what to do with it. Couldn't even get my pictures on it to work with. I don't have much computer sense. A lot of people would say I don't have much sense at all.

EXTREMELY easy to use. I will help you step-by-step if you need it, but it is SUPER easy.

Well... I don't know what's going on...
but it HAS been one of those days...
anywho... ALL of my pictures are up now if anyone would like to see them.

Lynne\'s outdoor plants...again!

Here's the address for my photo albums

Awesome pics!
I take it that's you in the pink t-shirt?
Now we have another face to a name!
Thanks!
Cindy

You must be talking about the Vegas album. Yup, that's me in the pink-tee shirt. The guy next to me is my sweetheart, Vince.

I don't know if I need to just make the file smaller or the picture smaller. All I know is that I can have up to 500 pictures or 50MB's and I have less than 50 pictures but I'm full up. What should I do?

Here we go...just started this today, and will be updating it over the next few days...

I love your stepping stones... I want to do that in my back yard.

Pheobe, for you.. I love pansies .

I had those planted when I first moved in my house.. I bought them already bloomed.. just planted em. The only time I ever had flowers. Of course, they were gone after a year. *sigh* And I had no idea about making a proper flower bed and weed control either.

Meg

Did you put sand under your stones to make them stable and level? I'm getting ready to put a small walkway in my flower garden and I had thought about just putting the stones down without anything under them but my husband thinks we should "prepare the dirt."

Bestofour, I didn't put sand under them, just dug a hole to make them level with the ground. So far, that has worked fine...only one or two have tipped, and jumping up and down on them has fixed them right up!

Like that rose, huh? Isn't it the BEST purple you have ever seen??? :p

I dug down and took a lot of pains putting these stones in the ground. They are just a hair above the soil, so you can walk on them easy and take the lawnmower right over them. I have a path of stones in the bird garden leading to the bird bath. They are just laying on the ground, and are very hard to walk on!
