The Conway wiki would be a much better place if we had a photo on every page - if you have interesting photos from scenes around the town, feel free to post them to the relevant pages!!
Recently, a huge archive of photographs of Faulkner county was established and is available online at Conwaypedia ("http://www.conwaypedia.net/").
Sharing Pictures
Online
DeviantArt.com - is a large community in which one can post pictures and they will be browsed and commented upon by other aspiring artists.
Flickr.com - an interesting way to view photos via slide show with easy uploading and "a community feel". Can cross-link to Flickr photos from other sites. Flickr also operates on a monthly 'upload limit' concept rather than a fixed amount of storage. For free users the monthly upload limit is 25MB worth of photos. $25 gets you a "Pro" account, which means a 2GB/month upload limit and other goodies.
Gallery - An open-source web-based photo album software package that you can use in conjunction with a web hosting provider to host your own photos.
Imageshack - easiest and fastest way to host a pic quickly, especially if you want to use it for the wiki or a webpage. No account or membership required, although you could make one for use of the Photoblog. Just upload a pic, and keep the link it gives you, it will be hosted (supposedly) until it hasn't been viewed for 1 year.
Photobucket.com - is a common place to host pictures. Albums there by default are private so if one wants to show them to other people one must change the privacy setting in preferences. One can cross-link to Photobucket photos from other sites.
Photos.Yahoo.com - you can host as many pictures as you want (no storage limits like that of photobucket!!). However, all pictures are automatically sized down to about 480x360.
Shutterfly.com - widely recognized for providing the highest quality prints on the Internet. Shutterfly is free, reliable, and very easy to use. In addition, a paid "Pro" feature allows more serious photographers to profit from their work by setting their own pricing for prints.
Webshots.com - another large community where one can post photos for viewing and comment.
Putting photos on the wiki!
While nearly any page without a photo (or with a poor photo) is a great place for one, consider also searching for the words photo request. When someone writes this in a page it's a sign that they're specifically wanting a photograph. Also, remember our Copyrights policy. :)
