Need Pictures

To all:
As part of our new website design, we have decided to feature our members on our home page. The pictures will be changed at random, so that each time you visit our website, a new picture will appear. Caregivers are also welcome.

The only requirement is that you are in the photo. The photo may also include spouses, oncologists/nurses, pets, grandchildren, family members, etc. but must include you. You must also be a registered member.

Email them to: joe@her2support.org along with the name that you wish to appear under the photograph. (either username or real name) For those who live outside the US, you may also include your home country.


Warmest Regards
Joe

Great idea Joe,

but do you want "memorial" photos - or just active member photos?

Joe,

How about various photos before, during and after treatment? I was thinking of this the other day. Or do you just want one?

Lean on me...

Hey Angels -

Those of you that do not have a means to send out electronic photos - guess what! I have a digital camera, photo editting suite, and a photo scanner/printer. I would be honored to help out!

Send your pictures via "snail-mail" to:
Mel Gordon
695 N. Gooseberry Ct.
Lafayette, CO 80026

I will scan them and forward them to Joe - Heck - I'll even e-mail the electronic copy to you too if you give me your e-mail address - (return the original via US Mail too - with a USPS breast cancer stamp of course!)! Include all the info that Joe asked for in his post and I can make sure what you want ends up in his e-mail inbox!

Love and Light
Mel

Do you mean

The photo that comes up with your posts? I tried to add mine electronically with my profile but it said it was too big. Sorry to be the techno-idiot here, but I am not sure what to do. Can you instruct me? Meanwhile I will email you the photo.

Unhappy Er.... ah.... uh....

Hi there Joe. I might as well admit ignorance and try to get some help with educating everyone on how to do photos here. tried last night to use the "insert image" button just above this posting area, but it wouldn't allow even my smallest jpg file. So for now there are no pictures online yet of the Seattle miscreants and the visit here we all had yesterday. What do I need to do to get the pictures "in here" so you can have them for your "merry-go-round" photos?

There is no "deadline" for submitting pictures as they can be included in the website at a later date.

I received all on the pictures mentioned in the above posts. I would also take Mel up on his offer as things have been extremely hectic lately.

Regards
Joe
