STEP #3:

Publishing Photos

Photo sharing web sites are a way to publish a collection of digital photos in one location and in an organized fashion. To organize the photos, tags are used. A tag is a keyword assigned to a photo, describing the item so it can searched. Much like the Dewey Decimal System, it's a way of classifying data but you get to decide what terms to use. There are a lot of photo sharing web sites. Here are just a few options: Kodak Gallery | Shutterfly | Flickr | MyFamily
