Introduction
- Creating an online photo album allows you to share your photos with friends and family, no matter how far away they live. You can create a photo album for a specific event, such as a wedding, party, graduation or birth of a child, or just create a general album of your best photographs.
Step 1: Post Images to Your Site
- You can always post photographs online by posting them to your Web site, blog or social networking account. However, if you are not tech-savvy or used to playing around with Web site layouts and formats, this might not be as efficient or organized as creating a specific site for your online photo album, and it will often take longer to create and remove images.
Step 2: Online Photo Album Sites
- Online photo album sites are specifically designed to make it easy to add, remove and organize your pictures. Benefits include:
- Specialty online photo album sites get into detailed instructions on uploading, formatting and posting images.
- Specialty sites often focus on specific subjects or photographic techniques.
- Online photo blogs allow you to write longer text to accompany your photos.
- Accounts are usually free.
- Some popular online photo album sites to visit include:
Step 3: Privacy
- Be aware that pictures you post online can be accessed and viewed by anyone unless you set your privacy settings on the site to only allow your photos to be seen by people you know.
- For online photo albums, you can sometimes create a private account, so that people have to either be a "contact" or be invited by you to see the pictures.
- On other sites, you choose the settings of each picture individually, allowing some to be private and others public.
- Read the user agreement when you sign up for an online photo album to see if it reserves the right to use your pictures for marketing or other purposes.
