What you'll need:
a) A source for digital photos
1-Scanner
2-Digital camera
3-CD or disc from photofinisher
4-Email attachment or web source
b) Photo- editing software to adjust size, resolution, cropping, color and contrast - as needed. I use Adobe PhotoDeluxe. Often it - or something like it - comes free with a scanner or digital camera.
c) A Microsoft net. passport. If you use MSN internet access or you have a hotmail account, you already have a .net passport. If not, here's how to get one:
How to sign up for free on-line storage through Microsoft
1-If you can use a free email address, go to www.hotmail.com and go through the registration procedure. Be sure and remember your new email address and password.
2-If you just need the .net passport, or if you already have one:
Go to http://groups.msn.com
Click on Create your own group
Either sign in with your exisiting passport or click on Get a .net passport and go through the registration process. To register, you'll provide your current email address and choose a password.
Then sign on with your new or existing .net passport
Follow the on-screen directions to create your group
Most of the settings are self-explanatory, but make sure your Membership Settings are set to public, or nobody but you will be able to view any photos you link to.
