F32 COLOR CHANGE

Finally put her all back together over the Summer, and would like to show pictures of the project. Trouble is, I'm apparently too computer challenged to successfully create a viewable album on the internet. I'm trying to use Picasa, but without success.

I real nice guy from Germany "Heiner" emailed me an avatar picture to use, after I emailed him some jpg images.

Can somebody suggest a simple way to show a bunch of 'in progress' and after completion' images? Maybe 30-40 images in all.

Thanks,

Dave

Have you setup a web album using Picasa?
https://picasaweb.google.com/home

Do that and set the privacy as Public... then we can go from there.

This is from someone else's Picassa web album. I just right clicked the photo and selected copy image url and put it in between clicks of the img button above in a compose message.

Hello Dave, if you still need some help - I can do that for you.
I prefer Imageshack for pictures - no idea about Picasa

Looks great David! A nice update. Gives the old girl a nice modern look. Well done!

Where are thes pics taken? Looks a little like the Turnagain Arm to me. I have only seen it from the land though.

Thank you,

Pics are taken in Prince William Sound. She's berthed in Whittier. We do drive Turnagain Arm to get to Whittier (about a 40 minute drive).

Very nice. That's what mine needs. It has some stress cracks. Too old to do all that work, and no place to do it but under the sky.
