Alot of people don't know that there are ways to save the information you find online. ;)<br /><br />This is also a good reminder to those of us who have "been-at-it" a while. We could all use a good refresher now and then. <br /><br />-J.M.CorllJoseph Corllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797245623496008678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-83886907097862209532013-12-19T09:57:33.308-08:002013-12-19T09:57:33.308-08:00And what are the rules for using the Shoebox optio...And what are the rules for using the Shoebox option?

This way you'll be able to access it whether your subscription lapses or the site is down or you just don't have an internet connection that day.<br /><br />Having a desktop program to which you can attach those images is helpful for organization but not essential. The biggest problems are space and naming conventions so you can find the image again. The first is easily solved with a large external hard drive, relatively cheap these days. The second is a little more tricky because it is often more personalized. If you use a photo program such as Windows Photo Gallery with the ability to add tags, it makes the naming less complicated and finding the images again much easier via tags for surname, location, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541316737018192375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-44721324455590522452013-12-17T02:41:17.901-08:002013-12-17T02:41:17.901-08:00Thank you for this post.
