I do agree with this in general. Bear in mind that sometimes PDML may not be the primary audience for a gallery. My sporting galleries tend to be a bit on the large side... but I occasionally end up being asked for more photos by participants or parents. It's a tough balance, maybe I should think about doing separate galleries. > First, that all of us give more attention to editing our galleries. Seconded... difficult as it is :) But I propose an exception for cat galleries. You can't have too many cat photos. > Second, that the subject line indicate how large the gallery is; for example, > "GESO(12) - Dog Poop" tells the viewer that twelve shots of Spot's output > lurk behind. This is a good idea. I'll try and remember. BTW I'm sure you don't intend these to be hard rules. I wouldn't want PDML to become too snobbish :) Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
