-I really like the "photo album" aspect of babyhomepages. I believe I would have to keep up this blog AND use some sort of site (i.e. picasa) to have the same effect?
-Another plus that builds on the last is that babyhomepages is one stop shopping, so to speak. I can upload photos, have the photo in album, relay stories, and have a guest book all in one place... Oh and I almost forgot, you can also buy prints from babyhomepages.
-Babyhomepages will send you a PDF of the entirety of your content for a minimal fee, which will then serve as my baby book/ memory book for the kids.
-I tried sites like picasa and (what's the name of that other one again?) and you can't upload multiple pics at a time... ughhh. Oh, and you only get a certain amount of space free and then have to start paying for it.
-Can you buy calendar/ albums/ prints from sites like picasa?
So, my question to you, dear readers ( I think there are about four of you ;), is how can I do all the things I listed above in an easy, one stop way with a blog. If I can't, I might just consider going with what we have for now (at least until we move). Also, do any of you like babyhomepages/ keep up with us through that site? Would any of you have a preference?
Ok, so, do any of you have any good advice/ info for me about this? I would really appreciate it and it would really help us make our decision over here. Thanks!
I hardly ever check your babyhomepages site b/c there is no "subscribe" or "follow" option that I am aware of and I am too forgetful/lazy to actually open a separate tab or window and navigate to the site, especially when there may not be anything new there when I do.
ReplyDeleteI read both. I have both links on my blog page so I just go down the list. No biggie.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, we have Flickr and blogspot. Flickr serves the photo album function and blogspot, the journaling (though I post a crap ton of pics on there too). You can order photo products through Flickr, but I never do. I rarely print anymore, and when I do, I'm a Walgreens kind of gal ; )
And Bridget, you can make a new blog for every day of the week and I'm going to stalk your super cute kids...lol
Hi Bridge,
ReplyDeleteI think more people keep up to date on what's happening with you than you think ;-)
I read both - mostly babyhomepages cos you're quite active there, but where ever you have info, people will check it out!
The advantage of babyhomepages is that stories and pics are all together - but you could do that here by just posting a link to the pics whenever you upload new ones.
I've used pixum for pictures (not sure if it's in America as well - it's well-known in Europe) and you're able to upload lots of pics at once and get them developed, make picture books etc.
