Photos

So y’all know how to look at the pictures and photo albums, right?

Just look in the column on the right and click on the ‘Photo Albums’ link to get to all of the albums. Once there, you can click on any album to see what’s inside. Inside an album, you can click on any picture to see a closer view.

You can click on the ‘Back’ button on your browser (should be in the top left of the window you’re in, and it’ll look like an arrow pointing backwards) or you can click on ‘Back to Album’ just above and to the left of the enlarged photo you are viewing.

Did you also know you can download the pictures to your computer, or even order prints directly from the photo album?

When you are looking at the close-up view of any picture, take a look to the right of that photo. You will see one link for ‘Download This Photo’ and another for ‘Order Prints’.

When you download a picture it will be saved onto the computer you are on. When it is saved to that computer, you can look at it any time without having to come back to the Family Photos page online. If you have a printer, you can also print the pictures from your computer and keep or frame them.

If you want to order printed photos of any picture, click the ‘Order Prints’ link. This will add a picture to an order you can process when you are finished browsing for purchases. If you click ‘View Order’ (upper right of the page) it will take you to a page that asks what company you want to order from, and then you will be asked about the number of prints, sizes and possibly finishes. You can order prints of any picture up in the online photo album. These prints are about $1 each—not the most affordable, but it’s an easy way to get them.

Of course, some of you I’m sure don’t want to bother with all that. You know who you are… ;)

If there are photos you want and you’d like prints of them, let me know and I can order them for you. When I receive the pictures, I’ll take them to you and you can reimburse me. Just let me know and I’ll take care of it. Or you can bug one of your other siblings, cousins, etc.

This has been another ‘How To…’ for visitors to The Herd.

Cheers!
