[Deptheads] Re: Photos on Strategicon.net, please, and hopefully sent to me

[Robyn Nixon]

Tanya,

Thought I had posted the link to my photobucket account with my photos:

http://s307.photobucket.com/albums/nn289/robynln/ORCCON%20-%20Strategicon/OR
CCON%202011/

There are tools on there to bulk retrieve the photos or simply utilize the
links.

I agree that we need to get a staff friendly photo album app for the web
site that would allow authorized peeps to upload to the strategicon web
site.  Then the site could simply rotate through the latest albums.  This is
a feature that wordpress has (which is another reason to encourage us to
migrate to that for our front webpage).

Robyn
