Hey all,
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday.
It’s time to get back to the grind.
College students: please let me know when your semester ends so we can make sure that your internship requirements are complete and the proper paperwork is turned in to achieve school credit.
Hopefully all photographers are using the multi-photo uploader to upload their photos to MyBuffalo. This should be standard procedure by now. After the photos are uploaded, make sure each photo is included in a set by accessing MyBuffalo. If you have any questions about this tool, feel free to contact me.
We’re still encountering issues with titles and descriptions. Each photo must have one. Here’s an ideal title and description:
Title: Fall Ball AP Tour At Town Ballroom
Description: Academy Is... and Mayday Parade headline for the 2009 AP Tour "Fall Ball"
And here’s one that’s not correct: NORTH TONAWANDA FOOTBALL
Titles should also be in upper and lowercase, not all caps.
As always if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Events 11/16/09
Response from all you contributors this past weekend was overwhelming! I’d love to keep the momentum going this week.
Remember if you’re trying to upload your photos using the bulk uploader and are encountering problems I need to know about them in detail, that way we can work out any bumps in the road for other contributors. Your job is not done once you upload your photos, they must go in a set. Here’s an example of one I created using photos I took at the Extreme Home Makeover on Saturday.
Titles and descriptions are getting better, but I still need you all to specify where the photo was taken in the title of both your photo and set.
There are a few events on this list where we have a photographer but no writer yet – I need to know if you’re interested asap so I can get approval for both of you.
Let me know if you have questions.

Sets tool has arrived
Hey all,
The sets tool on MyBuffalo.com has arrived - for all you Spotted veterans a set is equivalent to a gallery.
You can access sets by going to the MyBuffalo drop down menu.
When you cover an event, all your photos should go in a set.
We are working hard to incorporate the sets feature into the multi-photo uploader (http://account.mybuffalo.com/upload/radApplet.php), but for now please use the uploader to get them on the site then put your photos into a set individually.
If you have any questions, feel free to email or call.

Events 11/9/09
Hi all,
Hope everyone’s enjoying the very mild weather we’re experiencing. November in Buffalo? Extreme Makeover picked a great week to bring their cameras to town.
I have to begin on a very serious note: I can’t stress this enough. Titles and descriptions on photos taken at all events are so important. Too many times people are posting photos with IMG and a number, and this will not be able to help people as they’re searching their photos. Many of these have been posted in the last month. Same thing goes for indescript titles like “Time-Out” or “Net Down”. A better title is “Time Out at the BSC Hockey Game”.
Along with titles and descriptions – PLEASE make sure all your photos are in sets, again this will mean problems for people when they try to search for their photos.
If you’re experiencing any issues with the multi-media uploader, or need a link to it please let me know.
We’ve received a special request to cover a BSC Sorority event on Sunday, please let me know if you’re interested (all the info is below).
When you request events, please don’t reply to this email, simply send me a separate email with information on the event you’re requesting.
Thank you!

Hope everyone’s enjoying the very mild weather we’re experiencing. November in Buffalo? Extreme Makeover picked a great week to bring their cameras to town.
I have to begin on a very serious note: I can’t stress this enough. Titles and descriptions on photos taken at all events are so important. Too many times people are posting photos with IMG and a number, and this will not be able to help people as they’re searching their photos. Many of these have been posted in the last month. Same thing goes for indescript titles like “Time-Out” or “Net Down”. A better title is “Time Out at the BSC Hockey Game”.
Along with titles and descriptions – PLEASE make sure all your photos are in sets, again this will mean problems for people when they try to search for their photos.
If you’re experiencing any issues with the multi-media uploader, or need a link to it please let me know.
We’ve received a special request to cover a BSC Sorority event on Sunday, please let me know if you’re interested (all the info is below).
When you request events, please don’t reply to this email, simply send me a separate email with information on the event you’re requesting.
Thank you!

Tags, tags, tags & sets, sets, sets
I can not stress enough the importance of tagging your media in MyBuffalo.com.
Why tag?
Items are easily found when people are searching for them on MyBuffalo.com
The tag cloud on MyBuffalo.com might just show your tags!
How do I tag?
Think of the keywords that are associated with your media. For example if it's a photo gallery on a Halloween costume contest you should tag with: halloween, costume, the location where it took place, specific costumes, etc. etc. etc.. The more tags, the easily your photos can be found.
Always separate the words with a space, not a comma.
ALWAYS upload your photos into a set. If you are taking photos of people at a specific event and passing out cards, the only way for them to find all the photos is to upload them into a set. This is a very easy process that is accessible on the photo upload page.
As always if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
