The Web Publishing Wizard lets you compress photos and post them on selected web sites for the world to see. MSN and some of the other sites are free.
To post photos on the web:
1. Choose Start > My Pictures and then the subfolder (if any) containing your photos.
2. Select one or more photos, or a whole folder, to post.
3. In the task pane at the left, in the File and Folder Tasks section, click the Publish to the Web link.
The Web Publishing Wizard appears.
4. Click Next to skip the Welcome page.
5. Check or uncheck the boxes above the thumbnails to choose the photos to post; then click Next.
6. Select an internet service provider to host your web site (Figure 9.19 ); then click Next.
7. Follow the onscreen instructions for your chosen service provider. When you arrive at
Figure 9.20 , you'll generally want to choose Small image sizes.
After Windows uploads your photos to the website, the wizard's final page opens your browser to the new web page. Windows creates a shortcut to that site in Internet Explorer's Favorites menu.
Tips
Skip the wizard and use one of the better photo-sharing sites, such as www.ofoto.com, www.shutterfly.com, www.dotphoto.com, or www.photoworks.com.
