Emailing your photos with Windows Live Photo Gallery may be one of the best options to deliver your photos across the web to friends and family. This is because WLPG (Windows Live Photo Gallery) used Microsoft SkyDrive, a site developed for uploading media. Because Your emails are sent to SkyDrive, you are able to send as many pictures as you want without filling the end users email box.
You can get WLPG with windows update or by going to Microsoft’s download website. Once installed it can be found in the start menu as its own icon called “Windows Live Photo Gallery” or you can type “Windows Live Photo Gallery” in the “Start” search bar.
To email photos with WLPG you will need a Windows Live account. If you do not yet have one, you can sign up at windowslive.com. If you already have a windows live ID, it will ask you to enter your credentials. You will also need a mail application installed, like “Windows Live Mail” or “Outlook”.
To begin emailing photos, select one or multiple photos you would like to send. After selecting your photos, click on the icon to the top right labeled “Photo email”. This will open your default mail application with a new mail message. The mail message will contain thumbnails of all the images that you have selected. At the top, you are able to enter an album name that describes your photos. Under that you will find links for viewing a slide show or downloading all images at once. These are very useful for the recipient of the email. Once you are done entering a recipients email address and subject, simply press “Send”.
When your recipient receives there email, they will be impressed with the layout. Not only will they see all the photos neatly lined up, they can expand any image just by clicking on it. If your recipient has WLPG they will get a very nice preview window with slideshow capabilities. If they want to download all the photos at once, they can simply click “DOWNLOAD ALL”.
One drawback to using SkyDrive is that there is an expiration, by default, on your album. The default expiration date for albums is three months. If you would like to change the default, you will need to login to SkyDrive online through your internet browser.
Windows Live Photo Gallery is a great application for many things. One of those many things is emailing photos. With a few simple clicks you can send as many photos as you want to your friends and family.

How to build a photo gallery website is easy. With all the free software available online, you could get started in no time. But first you have to create a website. Here’s how you go about the whole thing:
1. Choose a domain – The domain name is your address on the web. It comes after www. and it ends with an official domain name extension such as.com,.net, etc. This is what the people type on the web browser when they visit your site so it’s important to pick something easy to recognize and remember. Keep it short, simple and use a word or name that reflects your site’s general concept. You can find a domain name online such as Act Now Domains. You can register there and pay for it. They will assure you whether your chosen name has a duplicate or not.
2. Choose a web host – A web host serves up your website online so that when someone enters your domain name on the web browser your site appears. Go to iPower for example and get a less expensive plan for starters. The web host you choose should have good support.
3. Create the website – There are step by step website tutorials that you can follow or you could get a website builder from web hosts. There are also website software programs you could use to build the website by yourself. Keep your site simple and pleasing to the eye. Don’t place blaring music or slow loading graphics.

4. Choose a photo gallery software – There are software tools you can get for free that automatically generate thumbnails and HTML code that display your image collections on your website. Such tools will optimize and resize your pictures and create web pages with photos, links and full-sized images. These programs also have customized features that will control appearance of web pages and allow other people to view them. And example of these tools would be the Java Album and Gallery wizard.

Photo album and image galleries are becoming a popular feature for websites. Depending on your purpose, you can simply add a photo album to your website as a sub-page, or make your entire website purely a photo album (such as a photographer website).
There are many software (both free and commercial) for building an image gallery or even flash video gallery. If you are a professional photographer need to display your photos to potential clients, then your requirement for the photo gallery software or gallery website would be very different from an amateur who just need to have fun, or someone who just want to share photos with the social community.
Many business owners need a photo gallery for their website because they are selling service or products — e.g. a photographer would like to demonstrate his previous work online. A real estate website would like to display house for rent or for sale online, etc.
For personal users, there are lots of photo and image sharing sites around which are generally easy to use and you can be up and running in no time. However, many personal website owners also prefer to have a photo gallery on their own website for secuirty and privacy reasons, so that they can display their photos without having to upload the photos to a third part photo sharing website. This is particularly important for webmasters whose photos need to be licensed or protected.
If you are looking for the quick-and-easiest way to build a gallery, a flash photo gallery software should be the best solution. In the old days, programmers mainly use JavaScript and PHP to build photo galleries. However the programming involved is too complex for most webmasters and business site owners.
A Flash photo galleries software can help anyone to build a flash gallery with just few clicks on Windows desktop, and then upload the files to their own hosting account directly. The simplest way to add a photo gallery to your website is to add a new page to your website, and then choose a Flash Photo Gallery Template from your photo gallery software. Most flash gallery software comes with a variety of flash photo gallery templates for you to choose. You can then simply browser to your image folder or image files, to have the photo album software automatically copy and insert the images into the flash photo album.
Most flash image album creator can also allow you to add special animation effects to your photos. It transforms your digital photo collection to a flash photo album with animation effect, music and color theme. You can then upload the flash web album with ftp program to your own website or blog.
Some web hosting companies have free image galleries application included. This makes image galleries applications easy to use. However the disadvantage is that you must stay with the same web hosting company if you want to keep your flash photo album. If you decide to switch your host, then all your flash picture album are lost, and you would have to rebuild your entire flash photo album again.
This is the main reason why you should consider using your own flash gallery software. Which you can install directly on your computer, create a flash photo album and upload it to your own website or blog, and host the files anywhere without depending on your host provider.
