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.
