Ok everyone! Thanks to Aunt Camille's technical savvy and a little practice I think we are ready to try out Slideshow version 2.0. Not to worry, the old pictures are not gone.
Everyone can submit any pictures to appear on the slide show (instantly) by emailing them to Davidvagyok.thanksgiving@picasaweb.com with the subject line of your email as the word "Thanksgiving." They will appear in the order they are submitted. Do not include any text in the body of the message.
The photos should not be large, i.e. larger than about 1 MB (preferably less than 500k) and/or 640 x 480.
A couple of helpful hints:
- If you do not know what size your pictures are, or do not know how to resize them, just leave the subject line of your email blank and they will make their way to the slideshow eventually.
OR
- If you want a very simple way to resize multiple photos at once in Windows then you can download Microsoft's Image Resizer for Windows XP or Windows Vista. It's really so easy that Brent even Twittered on my blog from his laptop that he had tethered through a Bluetooth connection to his Blackberry to say he thought it was very simple. Just install and then you can right click any image(s) and choose "resize."
Only 1 day 15 hours and 26 minutes until Thanksgiving! I can't wait!
P.S. If you ever wondered why pirates can eat oysters year round, wonder no more.
