Photo album?

I'd like to propose a photo album for the lounge members to archive their photographs in. I don't know how we would go about doing this, but much like Yahoo Groups have a photo album section I thought we could get one up so that when we want to look at a particular design, colour combination, or just admire lids we'll have a URL to go to rather than browse through old threads.

This system doesn't allow archiving or posting of photos like Yahoo. To post a photo, you have to upload it to a photo-sharing site like Photobucket (seems to be the most popular around here) and then get a link to your photo at that site and post it as a photo link (not the little icon of the earth with a chainlink, but the one that's 3 to the right, little icon with mountains) to this site.

The other issue...is that having a huge separate page for photo storage, means domain hosting and fees. With such a large amount of people looking at those pictures, that starts to add up, price-wise.

And then it takes someone to maintain, etc.

Instead of an off site archive we can do it here. Since the members are hosting their photographs on various sites we can create stickies to highlight our hats.
No chatty text other than to state the model, style, year, etc.

One thread for Stetsons, one for Mallory, Dobbs, Penny's, etc. etc.

Instead of creating half a dozen stickies we can start with one brand and see how it goes.
