Funny, I never thought I would start a blog...but here I am. Why? Honestly...it's because I'm not pleased with iphoto. Last November while I was busy planning my wedding, my hard drive crashed and I lost everything. I took my critically ill PowerBook in to MacDocs, but they were unable to save it. A transplant took place and my little laptop came home with a new hard drive. I thought everything was great (minus the lost photos I didn't manage to save to my external hard drive before it crashed), but I was wrong. When you get a new hard drive you lose EVERYTHING. All of my shortcuts, passwords, and preferences I've painstakenly saved over the last 3 years. GONE! So what does this have to do with iphoto? Well...the new version of iphoto doesn't let you edit the size of the photo to make it easy to send in an email using gmail, hotmail or any other sort of mail that is not mac mail. I don't use mac mail so I've been looking for graphic converters to allow me to edit my pictures so I can send them. I'm sure there is some tech savvy reader that could show me how to fix this, but I don't have the time....er...the patience to figure it out on my own. iphoto isn't the only reason I started a blog. I suppose it also has a lot to do with convenience. I am slowly learning to adapt to having in-laws. I don't have the best track record of keeping my own family informed, so I have been easily overwhelmed by the numerous questions about being newlyweds, my work, our plans to move to L.A., Ryan's music career, etc. The wife (Bekah) of one of Ryan's band mates (Cole) simply told me after I was lamenting having to repeat myself 20 times in one day, that a blog would save me a lot of the trouble. Today, after failing to edit my wedding photos to send to my friend Stephanie via email, I gave in and decided to enter the wonderful world of BLOG. The previously mentioned is a well seasoned blogger and although she has encouraged me to start my own, I am a little nervous about what to put out for the masses. But, I would hate to clog someones email with enormous photos, and I know other family members and friends might like to see the photo's as well. Thank you Stephanie for requesting photo's...and my inability to narrow it down to a few to send via email.
