Guidelines for posting Pictures / Photo Albums on Hot Boat Deals

This was an email that I sent to a member.  I'll conseal the members identity to protect them but figured that this was good information for the bulk of the members as a simple guidleline for posting pictures and photo albums into the site.

--------------------

Member Name,

Just to let you know, as I said on the phone last night, I am the administrator/builder/owner of HotBoatDeals.com.  I wanted to let you know that I have hidden some of your pictures from the 00000 photo album which shouldn't be shared with our boating public on HotBoatDeals.com.  They were the family pictures, basketball, and baby / family photos on the site.  You will still be able to access them but when you upload groups of pictures like that you should be careful not to set them for public viewing.  So I had to set a name to the pics I made most of them 00000 and named a few others to protect your pictures from non registered guests on the site.   In the 24 hours since you uploaded, most of them they got 450+ views for the most part.  The pickup truck and the Hot Rod really should be posted to our Hot Rod site which is HotRodDeals.com.  The functionality is all exactly the same and you can log in using your current username and password.   If the Hot Rod is for sale, as it appears the truck is, just go into www.hotroddeals.com and post them for sale over there.   We try to make sure that our boat site has boating content in it.  Hot Rod content on the hot rod site.  If you want to see all the sites we have, just pull down the Our Sites menu at the top right of the menu bar. 

For sake of best practices, when you upload a group of photos like in the 00000 album, please create multiple separate photo albums.  So the truck would be it's own album, The Hot Rod in it's own album, the basketball pics in it's own album and the family pics in it's own album.  That way, if you have more family pics, you can keep adding more pics to the album over time.  The other thing is that by separating the albums, you can set the access restrictions according to the type of content when you set up and create the album.  That way, all pictures uploaded to the site in that album carry the same access restrictions from the point they are uploaded.  Just make sure to upload your pictures into the right site.   Your private photos will be protected, and your vehicle pictures will be exploited FAST!  

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message back.
