Members must first create one or more 'rooms' into which they upload their pictures When a picture is uploaded the site builds a thumbnail for preview [When selected for viewing, the site builds two further copies of the picture in 2 sizes to suit the displays COMING SOON] Once uploaded, other logged-in members can download the original picture or the smaller versions. Members are encouraged to upload a self portrait or two !! We provide: a free image sharing archive free email addresses in the form name@hetherington.info FTP centre with personal access codes for major uploads / sharing large picture files - this could be extended to allow free exchange of large files rather than use email on demand Finally, if it isn't linked by a button at the top of the page (these change once logged-in) you should be able to view one or more pictures by using the find button |
| Home page thumbnails Each time the home page is accessed the thumbnails are updated according to different rules. This way the page stays fresh and you may stumble on something interesting Once you click the thumbnail it will take you to the room that the picture is kept in and you can view the others associated with it NB we generate the home page 'on the fly' using some random selections each time the home page is viewed therefore occasionally two or more thumbnails will be the same it will happen less and less as we upload more pictures |
