Web Page Submissions:
If you wish to submit items to the be placed on the web site please follow these guidelines:
JPG picture format is preferred. Send the Webmaster the pictures at their full size and resolution and let me shrink them down for ease of viewing on the web site. Make sure all of the picture file names are unique through out the project or event. If you can put all of the pictures in one folder on your computer I can put them in one spot on the web site. If you do change the names of the JPG picture files, use only letters, numbers and dashes or underscores in the file name. No spaces or odd characters. Web sites don't like those. Good lighting and in focus pictures are appreciated. I will do some cropping of the pictures but try to frame them as best you can. Don't forget the 'assholes and elbows' pictures of the people doing the work.
Word documents are great to tell the story behind the pictures. Be sure to throw in all the history that you can. Links to references or other people's restorations make the story more interesting. Do not embed the pictures in the word document but refer to the picture file name so I can tell which picture you are talking about.
Show the mistakes also so the next person does not have to repeat them. People will like to know how you find the parts you need.
Send your submissions to the Webmaster but it make take some time to show up on the web page as some of us have jobs.
