If any of you have some free time and want to help the site, I need someone to write up a step-by-step guide on how to post their collection on the site...bascially how to get pics hosted and point to them via a URL. I have been meaning to do this for some time but just have not had a spare moment. It should not be too involved but I would like to cover the following rough outling:

• Getting the picture on your computer....either via digital camera or scan of photo


• Resizing and cropping to correct size....best is 150x379 pixels although not a requirment, however it does reduce filesize...plenty of freeware out there will do this as well as "timed trials" of popular programs like "Paintshop Pro".


• Finding a host...list of free image hosting services or directions of how to find out if your ISP gives free space


• Uploading pics to your host...via a direct page upload like Yahoo or via FTP


• Testing your upload via entering the URL in your browser to view the image


• Adding your info to your AoS Collection page
