I have had a few people ask me how to set-up and use Webshots accounts. Instead of replying directly by email I thought I would create the posting in case someone else was looking for an introduction.
Signing Up
==========
Step 1: Go to... www.webshots.com
Step 2: In the upper-right corner click on "SIGN-UP".
Step 3: Fill out the form then click "Join Webshots Free!"
Step 4: Don't forget your user name and password. You will need them again (see below).
The Assistant
=============
*Note: This is not necessary, but I have found the assistant very useful for creating and editing albums.
Step 1: Go to... http://community.webshots.com/html/coclient.html
Step 2: Click on "Download the MyPhotos Assistant now!".
Step 3: Install the program.
Step 4: Ensure you are connected to the internet the run the executable (you will need your user name an password from setting-up your account).
Creating An Album: "Click" on the Create button on the top right. Choose "Hobbies and Interests: Airplanes" (this is the WIX after all). Give your album a title and description. Ensure access is checked as public so everyone from WIX can see it.
Populating An Album: Choose your album in the top center of the screen. Click on "Add Photos" in the bottom left. Using the pop-up window select the photos you want to add. Stand back and watch Webshots upload.

Step 6: Copy to the clipboard the address in the address bar.
