April meeting:

At the April meeting we took a look at several ways to put your images online. Using Google's Picasa not only offeres a free and easy way to upload photos, it also makes finding images on a computer very easy. PhotoShop has some automated ways to create slide shows, and Flash also does a good job. Using PHP offers more possibilities, with numerous free and customizable php scrips available.

Also a "thank you" to Frank Scott for explaining how he uses Adobe Acrobat to manipulate his images. (Member input at SIG meetings is very much appreciated - it's all about sharing knowledge!)

Next meeting May 20, 2008

The May meeting subject will dive into some CSS. How to use it for positioning and formatting, and dealing with browser differences in the way they render CSS. Although confusing to learn at first, it's essential for compliant and sound site construction.

Contact Anna if you have any requests for meeting subjects. Please join us in May!
