You get 250 MB of space to create albums and upload your pictures. Uploading your pictures is easy. The upload page provides an ActiveX control that you can install that makes uploading pictures easy. You can drag and drop them right into the web page and it even gives you the option of resizing them so that you save space. You can also upload them one at a time through the website without installing the ActiveX control which is nice if you want to upload from someone else’s computer.

And if you haven't noticed I've got plenty of advice. I just updated this a little bit so it is current and I'll update it as I come across new things and new technology comes out. I haven't actually used Windows XP Media Center Edition, but it should all still apply as it is based off of Windows XP and just has some extra software. I'd like one but Jenny didn't have it in my technology budget. I thought your question was a good one so I went ahead and started an <a href="http://www.drozmonkey.com/technology/faq/trackback/">FAQ</a> page to answer it and other future questions. Feel free to send more questions. Thanks for the compliment on the website, its a hobby that I’ve come to enjoy. And if you haven’t noticed I’ve got plenty of advice.

I am going to send it on to my techy son Jeff. Question: Is all the information above still current? We just got a new HP Pavilion AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core Processor 4200 1.77 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM computer and run Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002. When I am running Internet Explorer through Yahoo I often get a message that tells me I need to have Active X installed. Is this something that only Yahoo Media requires or is it something I should install for other sites also? Your family is beautiful. Gayle Gustafson Hi JR, I love your family site.
