If you are posting a recent project in the Assn Members Area Gallery System, please take a few moments to add context to them.

<center>
<b>Todays `Recent Albums`</b>
Just a quick screen shot of todays Recent Albums` Page</center>

<center>
<b>Getting the most from it</b></center>

I highlighted Henks Album, but several Members are getting the right idea. Note it has a Title (the blue text), a Caption (The black text), and a Profile Pic (lower right hand pic). All of these features add more cues to the viewer. The addition of the Caption make it easier to find in the Search process(over time this album will drop off the `Recent Albums` list).

Like many of the members that have used the Album System, Henk has done a great job. If a member wants to update an album, it`s easily done, just click on the appropriate Icon to the right of the album after clicking on the `Manage My Albums` option in the Members Menu.

Just a hint. (Share those winter projects in the Album system so that they are there for future visitors )

I am just starting to get used to how to use these. I find more functionality as I mess with them. Really a cool feature.

Paul, I thought an on-site photo storage system was a good idea to begin with, but the implementation and functionality for everything from cruising to upgrades far exceeds the usefulness I had imagined. Congratulations!

Thanks Dave.

From my point of view, it's a labor of love. Plus we now have over 1,100 images posted by members, and 74 Albums.

The figures are pretty impressive:

485,314 Image Views
11,197 Album Views
9,673 Gallery Views

We are averaging about 2,000 image views a day now, so should pass the Half Million mark shortly.

Behind the scenes we are adding more features, the first of which should be online in about two weeks.

It's all about making things easier for members to share their knowledge and pics for those cold nights (it's down to 70 here already)
