An easy way to share

If you're like most people, you have digital photographs scattered all over your hard drive. This can make them difficult to display and share.

And have you thought about backing up your photos? You really don't want to lose all your treasured digital memories.

Well, today's Cool Site is a godsend for organizing and backing up photos. Sharpcast also provides handy tools for syncing and sharing your photos.

Once you sign up, you can simply drag and drop your photos to create albums. The photos are stored online. But they'll sync directly with Sharpcast's desktop program. Add contacts, and your friends and family will be able to view your photos, too!

Oh, if you have a Windows-powered smartphone, you can even view your photos on it. But you're limited on how you can work with your photos via phone. Hopefully that will improve. So start sharing!

The image was submitted from a member on my forum.

Edit: and if your wondering about the bird one, it's actually real. I got too many complaints from it, so I said it was a photoshop to calm everybody down.

It has to be Microsoft Office Live

Many folks would like to build their own site but are reluctant to get involved with writing HTML. An alternative to hand coding or using a web authoring tool is to use a web hosting service that allows you to use point-and-click tools to create a web site from a template. There are many of these services but the current offering from the Microsoft Office Live Beta service is very tempting. You not only get free site creation tools but also free hosting, five free email accounts plus a free domain name as well. Microsoft claims that if you sign up during the beta, the free hosting will continue even when the product goes live. It sounds like an unbeatable offer but there is a small catch; it's for US based users only...and ya gotta use Microsoft IE.

8-26-06 I registered for my domain name. I'm under a temporary name http://temp.bearbottoms1com.officelive.com/ until they register BearBottoms1.com. I am currently constructing the web site. So far so good...seems awesome for a business. The site construction tools seem to work fine as you get used to the alteration variables available. At first it seems you have to pretty much go with the templates, but you can actually alter them deeply. When I registered, they asked for a credit card, but they say it is only for verification purposes to prevent ... misuse.

8-27-06 It took one day for them to register my domain name. Now I have my own domain http://bearbottoms1.com Simply amazing. So far It hasn't cost anything and they say it won't.

Months ago, Google announced the purchase of an online word processing program. It offers features comparable to Microsoft Word, only online and free!

No need to download and install a huge program. The whole thing runs via the Internet. But it looks and feels like the program is on your computer.

Nearly every document format is compatible with Writely. Upload existing Word documents or save new ones to a Word format. You can save a document to your computer and the server. Documents are automatically backed up every 10 seconds.

Since its all online, sharing and group work is a cinch. Content can be turned into Web pages or blogs. Writely was closed to new subscribers while it made the transition to Google's servers. But now it is open to all. So give it whirl!

Do you like to draw? Or would you like to improve your skills so you can express yourself creatively?

Then today's Cool Site is a great place to visit. It is a virtual university dedicated to helping you improve your drawings.

I'll admit that I'm not the world's best artist. But my drawing skills have improved greatly since I joined Drawspace. I generally prefer photography to drawing. But I've found it relaxing to draw. It helps you build focus and see things differently.

The tutorials are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced sections. So, depending on your current skill level, you'll know where to start.

And once you've completed your masterpiece, you can upload it for others to view. I'm not quite there yet, but you might be brave enough!

Looks like it would be a great site to learn to draw.

I've added a drawspace link to my website. Way COOL.

It's every photographer's dream to see their pictures in print. But this goal can be difficult to obtain.

Well, today's Cool Site may just help you get your work into print. And you won't believe the publisher!

National Geographic is accepting submissions via its Web site. So dust off your best photo and send it in. The winning photo will appear in the magazine. A few additional winners will be displayed on the National Geographic site.

Now, there are important rules to follow when selecting and submitting your photos. So be sure to read the rules before you get started uploading – you only get one chance during each submission period!
