Need to Resize for Web?

If your original image is under 1MB, this handy tool: Make a Thumbnail, will create a small image (from 100x100 pixels to 300x300 pixels). You can then link this on the website to a larger image or just use the small thumbnail as a button to go to another section of the site.

Very easy to use. Just click browse to locate the image on your computer, select the size desired, and click "Make a Thumbnail"

Example to the left of gazing out the window on a lovely fall day. The 100x100 pixel image is only 4k!

Free Video Conferencing

FaceFlow is a free, easy video conferencing system that will allow up to 4 people at once. Browser based, so no need for a separate application. Chat system as well as video calls. Interesting alternative to Skype.  Below is a short video of how to use FaceFlow

Store and Share Files

Another storage spot, but this one also syncs and gives you 2 gig of FREE space.  (You can pay for more if you need it.) It's called DropBox.  When you join there is a small app to download to your computer.

Here is an invitation to Join: http://db.tt/nFFfum4

 DropBox can share with anyone, even if they are not a drop box member.  Here is a folder of Catherine (my cat) viewing several photos from my friend Ann when she was in Hawaii.  Don't worry it will NOT automatically download anything, but will let you view the pictures in the gallery and download if you wish.
