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.

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.

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!
