Instructions For Sharing Photos
On The Monday Ramblers Website
Because the Ramblers website is a “free” site there is very little server storage with this site’s host. For that reason, individual pictures can’t be posted here because there’s no place to store them. To get your hiking photos posted here you’ll need to create an online album, submit the album’s URL (link) to the webmaster who will then post the link on the Monday Ramblers website. In this way your photos are not stored here but somewhere else with the link acting as a map to take viewers to your photos. Here’s what to do:
- If you do not already have an account with a photo sharing website, create one. There are a number of such sites that let you store, share, edit, and create individual photo albums for free. Many people use sites such as Flickr, Google Photos, Apple's iCloud Photo Sharing or Photobucket but there are other sites that also offer free photo sharing. You can’t use a social network site (e.g., Facebook) because people who don’t have an account on that social network will not have access to your photos.
- Upload your hike photos to your photo sharing account. If your photo sharing site initially puts all your photos into one large folder (e.g., Flickr calls it your Photostream) then you'll need to create an album for just that one hike’s photos and move that hike’s photos to its album. Each hike should be in its own album. Most of these free photo sharing sites place no restrictions on the number of albums you can have nor the number of photos within an album. Share as many photos as you want for each hike.
- After you’ve created an album with your chosen hike’s photos, email the URL (link) to the Monday Ramblers webmaster - stevesee@ymail.com. The webmaster will then post the link to your photos on the Ramblers website citing you as the photographer.
Once the link to your photos is posted on the Ramblers website everyone will be able to enjoy the photos you took. And thanks for sharing!
