New Photo Gallery Features on POG Website

[Rob Hugo]

As many of you know, Karen—our longtime "web wonder"—has decided it was time to move on. Over the years, she and Bill created a wonderful collection of more than 8,500 photos in our galleries.

Over the past month, I've moved all of those photos from the old photo service directly onto our website. The galleries now have a fresh look, and they may continue to change a bit as we improve things.

One challenge is that photos from the last few years are missing, so some important events aren't represented. At our last meeting, it was also mentioned that we should include more photos of newer club members. I'm hoping you can help by sharing photos you already have on your phone or computer.

A new, easy way to share photos

We now have a simple feature on the website that lets POG members upload photos directly. I'll take care of placing them into the correct photo galleries.

  The photo will be sent to the website, and I'll receive a notice to place it in the appropriate gallery.
