Oh GOOD for YOU Krista!  It is really easy though, isn't it!!!???  I highly recomend Picturetrail for anyone who wants to have a space to show their adopted bears, and isn't quite ready for a "real" website yet!  That's what it is for me at least!  I find that probably 90% of the time that's what people REALLY want to see when they ask me if I have a website... just loads of photos of what I've done.  I've used them for several years now, and it's just pretty much a no brainer! 

It's lookin' really good Krista!  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.... !

Beary truly yours,

Thank you so much Kim!!! Hubby bought frontpage so that he could build me a website, but as you can see, I have gotten tired of waiting :crackup:  Not to mention when people ask to see pictures of my other bears I had to make up this big huge email, whereas now I can just send them the link....You can be sure I will have questions Kim, thanks for the offer...

Hugs,
Krista

Oh... I almost forgot!  When I visited your gallery... I saw the sweetest little thing named Junius... i don't think I had ever seen that one before, maybe I somehow missed Junius on Teddy Tlak... I don't know... anyway... that one is too cute not to comment on!!!!!!!  Adorable!
   

I know how the website thing goes... I've been saying that I was going to put one together for something like 2 years now!!!  I keep telling myself that one of these days I will... and I truly do intend to do so.... it's just so hard to find the time!  When I have free time I either spend it here or actually making teddies!

Hi Kim...Junius got adopted right from TT before he even went to eBay from one of our awesome TT'ers, at that point he was called no name bear by K Pawz Creations  his new mommy named him....

Great idea Kim!

Also, you may want to consider purchasing a domain name. Here are a couple of benefits:

- Shorter domain name to give out (instead of www.picturetrail.com/kpawz, it can be www.kpawz.com). Continue to use these online services (picturetrail.com, freewebs.com, geocities.com, etc..), but link to it using your domain name instead.
- Gain another email mailbox just for your business correspondence.
- When your website is ready, you don't have to update this link (www.picturetrail.com/kpawz) that you have given out.
- Business name branding

I wanted to suggest http://www.flickr.com as a good option too - I host all my photos there, & there
are community galleries called 'pools' with all manner of topics, so it is a lively community on
its own merit as well. I created a flickr group for artist bears    here's a link:

http://flickr.com/groups/teddybears/

I love their system which allows you to organize your pics into sets
http://flickr.com/photos/kimhotep/sets/

& as you browse through communities of photos & art, you can
mark your favorites. You get a (unobtrusive) notice when someone marks
your pics are a favorite, or leaves a comment on your picture. Here are the ones I love:

---I spend too much time on flickr...lol
