Posting Photos - Important

[sweetgoddess]

It is wonderful to see photos of everybody's delicious raw food creations, as well as their before, during, after photos etc.
However, due to bandwidth, I have to ask you to please, just be considerate when posting photos. Every photo takes up bandwidth and there are more and more photos being posted everyday. Dozens a day!

It is not really necessary to post photos of products etc, and things that do not relate to a raw food diet. While I know it is fun to have a visual on things, this does cost money - more and more everyday! SO when posting your wonderful food photos, know that we REALLY love seeing them,and one picture of your dish is welcome. And while we love to see your inspiring raw kitchens, we don't really need to see a singular photo of your jars and lids...etc, or package fronts and so on. We don't want to crash the forum with an overload of pictures!!

Thank you so much for your kind and considerate hearts! You are all a huge part in making this forum a wonderful place to be.

Warmly
Carmel

In addition to what SweetGoddess wrote, I'd also like to mention that you can also sign up with various FREE photo sharing services and upload pictures freely without fear of using up bandwidth here.

With most of those services, you are allotted a certain amount of space and if you use up that space, you have the option to either clean up old photos or upgrade to their premium accounts by paying a nominal annual fee.

Here are two such services that I know very well:

1. http://fotki.com (here is an example of how I use this album: http://fotki.com/rawkinlocs)

2. http://picturetrail.com

If you sign up for one of these, you can upload your photos and then just provide a link to your album (or put it in your signature) for people to click on and go view your shared photos.
