I have added a new feature that now allows you to add text to your photo albums. You can now add a subject to each picture as well as a description.
The subject will later be useful so that we can search for pictures of exactly what the picture is. So put things like make or model of the tractor/implement in the subject area for example.
You also now have a large description input box for additional text about the picture.
The description box can be used for explaining how you did a particular add on to your tractor for example.
I hope this helps make the photo section more useful. As you all add text to your photos I will add new features to let you search the subject and decription items in the photo albums.
To use the new add text feature:
Go to your photo album. Above each picture will be a link "Add / Edit Your Photo Text" that only appears if the logged in user matches the photo album being viewed. You can edit or add the subject and description information at any time.

Try to put the Manufacturers name in the subject as well as the model if you can. For Example "Woods RB72" should be placed in the subject as this where I will set up the search to look.
Its also good to repeat this info in the description.
When I have some more time I am going to open up some other features where you can put in Make and model from drop down boxes.

Dennis: Can you add a "back" button to go back to the album, or maybe a "next picture" or "last picture" button set to allow the viewer to scroll through? ....

The first thing I will add is a list of all your pictures on your Album page by Subject so viewers can choose which pictures they want to see rather than just clicking on all the numbers until they get to the one they want.

For sample, DSG has started to label his photos. For those creative howto projects like the "Pipe" on the loader blade I think this will be a great place to put info on how it was done. ....

Netscape is tough, I show no errors on the page, I changed something that should have no impact, and now the page loads. I still have one error that does not allow the link to "add text" to your own pictures to appear.
But you should be able to look a the albums now. ....

Update. The following members have updated their albums to include Text descriptions of their photos:
| DennisCTB |

| plots1 |
| shortmagnum |

Make sure that if you only want to enter a short amount of text that you put it in the "Subject", if you can, do not leave the Subject blank as that is how things will be listed on your photo album, and also how the search feature will work.

OK Dennis, I built a fire, cleared the snow that we got last night, poured a mug full of coffee and finally updated the descriptions for my photos.
In doing so realized a few are kind of dated, so I will update them shortly. There are a few conspicuous absences I will try to fill in.
Best of luck. ....

Harvey, have one for me too will 'ya, they're not on my list of "approved items" ....
Come to think of it, the 12 cup pot isn't either anymore.
Oh well, as my grandfather used to say, being here and having to eat a restricted diet is still better than the alternative. ;->
Best of luck. ....

Murf ya rained on my parade. But that is ok I needed it.
I should only drink 16 oz of coffee max a day, the kind were they soak a bean in a bucket and call it coffee. Of course the spoon will stand up in it on its own, when I make it, if the warden does not make it first to the correct spec.
Can't remember the last sticky bun. Always nice to dream about.
Kinda like looking at seanery at the beach... ....
