Events 11/30/09

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.
