Do you have hundreds of pictures gathering dust in the back of your closet? Perhaps you have several photos taken decades ago that are now yellowing or fading. Do you often wish that the pictures are organized and that you can easily share them with your family, relatives and friends?

In the article, "Bring Back Fond Memories by Sharing Family Photos Through Your Family Website," you will read about how you can preserve those precious pictures with the help of technology, specifically the Internet -- via your own family website.

Preserving and sharing family pictures through your own family website is inexpensive in the long-run. If you had to have pictures copied and mailed to relatives and friends before, you will be able to appreciate the convenience of simply making all the family pictures available on your family website for relatives and friends to see anytime and wherever they are.

Digital cameras offer the convenience of taking pictures. With a digital camera, you no longer have to spend money buying rolls of film, taking bad pictures and wasting precious film, and having the pictures developed. With a digital camera, you simply have to aim and shoot. Then you preview the picture you just took, decide if it's good and save it or press the delete button if the picture is bad, then take another picture.

The number of pictures you take with your digital camera is limited only by how big your memory card is. And when it does get full, you only have to transfer the pictures to your computer to have the free space back so you can shoot some more.

You can easily share your pictures with family and friends, and the most  common way of doing this is by e-mailing photos. However, this method can still be time consuming. In the article, "A Better Way than E-mailing Photos," you will understand why e-mailing photos can present some disadvantages for both you and your recipients. The article also suggests a much more efficient and better way to share those wonderful photos with your loved ones.

In this day and age, you can easily organize those photos and share them with relatives and friends by making them available on your family website.
