Organizing your Photos

Did you know that with Heritage Makers, you can have 2 Gigabytes of FREE photo storage with a Basic account, or UNLIMITED photo storage if you upgrade to a Premier Account? This is something I especially love, as I can sleep safe knowing that all of our family pictures are SAFE, even if something terrible were to happen; all those memories are not going to be lost!

If you have a zillion-trillion-gabillion photos like I do, you might enjoy this tip: Organize your photos in folders that are named numerically by date, so that everything is easy to find and organized chronologically. For example: if you have a bunch of pictures from June of 2009, call the folder "2009-06 Family Pictures".

Take a peek at what I've got to get a clearer idea of what I mean:

Not only does storing your photos with Heritage Makers keep them safe in the event of a fire, flood, theft, and even TIME, but it also has them ready to put into storybooks, make canvases with, or even use in cards and gifts like calendars or flip books.

Did you know that you can upload a bunch of pictures at a time? By holding down "Ctrl" on your keyboard at the same time as pushing "a", you can highlight ALL of the pictures in a folder to upload, or by holding down "Ctrl", you can click on whichever random pictures you want to upload at once.

Because Heritage Makers uploads your full resolution images, it might take a little longer than, say, Facebook. I like to upload a bunch of pictures at once, and then go and do the dishes or something. Another perk of uploading your pictures to HM is that you can download the FULL resolution image from any computer connected to the internet later if you want/need to.

I LOVE Heritage Makers!!
