I have been working on what do about the family photos. I ordered an archive dvd of all our photos on the website that is closing, but it has not arrived. So I am trying to download the most important photos in the mean time, just in case they all get deleted and my archive dvd never comes.
MAY 7 UPDATE:
I am trying this site for now …. this is my Epcot album … if any of you have any trouble seeing the pictures, navigating, or downloading whatever photos you want, or if you get ads, please let me know, okay? I want to find a site that will work for everyone, before I go to all the work of uploading ten years worth of photo albums to a new site.
Speaking of that, I did order the archive DVDs of my photos and photo albums from the site that is closing. It cost $36 and I haven’t got the DVDs yet, so I have no clue as to quality or any of that … but I just could not lose the last ten years of photos!!
MAY 10 UPDATE:
Okay … I do not have my archive DVDs yet. I am not going to use the site I posted before … too hard to find anything there. I could not figure out where my photo album went! Here is the link to my Flickr photo album page. I do have an upload limit every month unless I upgrade to a Pro account. I will try to get my Epcot photos uploaded there and see if I exceed my upload limit, LOL. Keep you posted … if my archive DVDs don’t come soon, I am going to stop all other business and download each and every photo at the site that is shutting down by hand … groan … please come archive DVDs!!!
For now I am trying Flickr. Here is the photo album of my old family photos transferred to Flickr. I also have photo albums on facebook, but not exactly sure how secure those are.
So, let me know how you like Flickr, and in the mean time I will be downloading photos to my hard drive …
JUNE 1 UPDATE:
Well, I did finish getting all of our family photos downloaded before the deadline yesterday at midnight. Now the job begins — uploading them somewhere else. When I find something that works I will let you know. Thank you for being patient with my while I worked on saving our family photos!!
On another note, Sarah is heading to Colorado on Saturday for a week! We will miss her but I know she will have a wonderful time with everyone!!! Take a ton of pictures for me, Colorado, and send them home with her!!
