B y R a n d y P o w e l l • C o n t r i b u t i n g W r i t e r • w w w . r i d e 2 u p . c o mOkay, so Christmas is over, you’re short on money because of everything you bought for the family, and your GoldWing is locked in that cold garage because the driveway is covered with snow.You haven’t ridden for almost twomonths, and the only time you’ve spent with your Wing was to charge up the battery. That gives you plenty of timeto start working on all those digital pictures you took last riding season!Your online photo album on one website (in this case, Phanfare) could look something like this.You are then given access to post yourpictures on their site and view themwhenever you wish.2. Some sites are totally free. Some arefree for a small amount of storage(about 1 gig—and that’s really not small),then they charge a fee for more storagespace. Some have an annual fee for anylevel of usage; these fees generally startat $39 a year and go up from there.3. Some sites feature a lot of advertising allaround your displayed pictures in theconstruction mode while some havereally clean, uncluttered presentationtemplates.4. Some sites are “dummy friendly” foruploading photos and captions whilesome are a little more complicated.5. Some sites let you view posted pictureswithout being a member while somerestrict access to members only.In 2008, I wrote an article for Wing Worldabout building your own website so youcould share your photo adventures withother riders (January 2008, page 48). But eventhough I received some great comments fromreaders (some from riders who even startedtheir own websites), most readers thought anentire website was too much work for them.And I can attest to the fact that I have spentover 300 hours on my own website. It is definitelyhard work.But what if I told you that—in less thantwo hours—you can post over 100 of yourbest pictures on the internet? And that youdon’t even have to start a website of your ownor be some kind of computer genius.Wouldn’tthat be interesting? Well, the key to this quickpost is to create your own online photoalbum on an online photo album website!What is an OnlinePhoto Album Website?Currently, there are dozens of photoalbum websites available online that allow youto simply register as a user and begin postingyour best photos. These sites vary greatly intheir capabilities, cost and “look”, but they allhave one thing in common—you don’t have tostart your own website to see your pictureson the internet.Here is how they work and how they differin function.1. You simply go to the website and registeryour online username and password.How Do I Locate an Online PhotoAlbum Website?Where are these websites? Hold on—here we go!
