This will be old hat for some you IT savvy young uns. But some of us remember a time when monitors were not in color, there were no hard drives and even when the only computers we ever saw was the one Lt. Uhura talked to. Ever wonder how some people can have such huge albums on Multiply and it's a pain to even post 6 or 20 pictures on your own? Then you got to reduce the pictures yourself or wait a while to upload huge pictures? Well you know the saying a wise man learn from his mistakes and a wiser man learns from other mistakes. Well I am not sure if there is a category for me but I am willing to pass what I learn to you so you can be a wiser man/ woman. You can see the exchange below with my friend. She is plenty tech savvy but did not know this. I spent enough time explaining that I added links to make it easier and hopefully you will all benefit with this experience. I have a bunch of albums in the draft stage that need some fine tuning but it was so easy to get them posted and in Multiply in the first place. Of course any questions ask me but please click all the links and read the instructions. Please let us all know if this is news to you and if this works. Also some of you can improve on this so let me know.
Ed

Go to Google and just search "picasa" . Its a Google made application. Then once its installed it searches for EVERY image in your HDD. and organizes it. By date (http://picasa.google.com/download/)
In the meantime go to Multiply. Click the sidebar for tips,, specifically how to get a "PIN". How to post pictures by email. For example mine is 2822@cornholiogogs.multiply.com or something like that in that format. So whatever is emailed to that address will come out in Multiply. Blog entry , Pictures whatever. (http://multiply.com/info/faq/64). You can blog from anything that will email. Palm Pilot, Cel phone , Wii etc.
Once you have all the pictures in your Picasa program , go to settings or options. What you want to do is have picasa reduce the size of all the pictures going out via email , this will make outgoing mail smaller so it takes less time. Even if you don't do this , Multiply will still accept your pictures up to a point. There is some finite post email on any body's email. I think the most I ever posted was around 180 in one shot but pictures were reduced to less than 60K each.
For example your goodbye Party was in one folder so Picasa made all the pictures one after the other. Then using "Shift" I selected 180 or whatever number of pictures. Then I clicked "email".
At this point Picasa asks you if you want to use your default email client "like Outlook" or Gmail itself. from there, mail to your pin and you have an instant web album. you can use Picasa before the mail to make horizontal pictures vertical etc.
You can also set Multiply to treat every emailed entry as draft so that you decide when your draft is released.
You also know that Multiply emails everything I post to Ling and other people who are not in Multiply.
Picasa and Multiply are not made for each other but it just seems that way.

Like I mentioned before. You and Maricar and one of your friends are now my Multiply contacts. And with Picasa , its so easy to post albums of 20 or more pics. that album was posted in one shot.
Thanks,
Ed
