Well, you people have antied up and spilled your guts, placing your lives on the forum in the "Intro" thread. Now how do I remember it all when I want to?

I am thinking there has to be a way to keep track of all this valuable information. I don't know about you, but I will never keep all of this in my aging head. (I've got you beat by 4 years, Jono!)

Shall I start an Oly SLR Forum bio page on the web? Would anyone object to my cutting and pasting your info to that page? It would be kind of like the self-portrait page. Hmmmmm...an idea!!! We could attach a photo with each bio.

I know that in a few weeks I'm gonna see a name and a post and wish I could remember more about a person or two. Anyone else in my situation? If you're interested, let me know. I'd be willing to do it. Let's see if enough people think it's a good idea....

'Sounds like a plan to me. I'd even be up for hosting it on my

This is only a suggestion but maybe it could be a page added or more to the picture album of photographers of the Olympus forum..... http://www.digicamplus.com/portraits/OlySlr.html

Like the others I think you are doing a fine job of getting every one back on this site with a big "Smile"

I wish I had you for a teacher but I am even older than you by a couple of years.. :> )

Jacques,

What a nice complement...one of the nicest ever! Thank you.

I think your idea of appending our bio info to the portrait page is a good one. I'm not sure if David would be willing to do the work. It WAS David who collected and saw that our pictures got uploaded, wasn't it? If I've got that wrong, I apologize!

Great idea, Beth. Maybe for pics we could link to Dave's Rogue's gallery so you don't have to use up your own bandwidth storing pictures...

Well, here's a quick start at it. Nothing fancy, but it has the essential info. I've only gotten a few of us up, but will continue to work on it. If you DON'T wish your contribution placed here, please let me know. If you didn't already contribute your bio on the thread, send it to me if you wish it to be included. Send to [email protected].

Let me know what you think.

Will fancy it up with graphics etc. later if we decide we want to keep it.

Hi Beth,

As I said before "me too"....That was a terrific thing you accomplished today. Guelph is straight North of your neck of the woods.

Beth,

Looks great so far. But from the size of the other thread it looks like you're going to have your work cut out for you. If you need anything, holler. Don't know exactly how I could help, but if you do, ask. This is a great hting you're doing. Much appreciated!

Hi Beth,

I think what you are trying to do is great! The existing gallery is presently hosted on the DigiCamPlus.com site which I run. David (DF) collects the photos and sends them to me on Friday and I update the page. You may have noticed that the my site is "for sale". The new owners (if it actually sells) may not want to keep the gallery going. If you're willing to take over the gallery function I would be glad to give it up. I volunteered to host it because everyone was posting their self portraits here and there wasn't a central place to see all of them.

Let me know when you are ready. I'm sure David can send you a zip file with all the shots.

Good Luck and keep up the good work...

Thanks Allen,

I have saved a space for photos if people decide they'd like them here. Thanks for the offer of the zipped file. I'm sure that would make the process easier!

I saw it and think it's a good idea. That IS why we're here I suppose (photos, that is...) Issue becomes - do you have the stoage and bandwidth to accomodate pics? If not, maybe someone (or several someones) could donate some space to load pics to. Multiple locations would complicate the maintenance of the page - maybe - but might be worth the effort. Or maybe we could get some space donated on pbase for a gallery.

Good idea, Lance!

So, would it work the way it does here? We post the link to pbase and it appears on the bio page? Will have to play some and go visit Slug to make the suggestion. Thanks for the idea!

Well, it's going on midnight here and I think I'm done working on the bio page for tonight. I am entering them as they appear chronologically on the bio thread. I have gotten as far as Eileen. Hopefully will be able to finish tomorrow and from then on anyone wanting their info included or edited can email me.

Nite all,

Before seeing this post I suggested the same thing but thought DF might do it with or without a portrait. However, you doing it is good. Afterall, the ideas here are yours. So, cut n paste.--LCD
 
How about using the PLAN section in the user profile. It seems like a lot of text can be placed in there. I think that would be better than contributing to a gigantic thread that will be forgotten in a few weeks.
