My mom lost about 6 months worth of pics because she never backed up off her computer as I had taught her too. So now, after learning that hard lesson, she not only backs up to an external hard drive, but I am teaching her how to use Flickr as a backup as well. It's so painful to lose valuable pics, so don't forget to back them up :-) The biggest thing to remember is to back up your photos!

I started 3 days ago - I'm enjoying thinking more carefully about my day and what would make a good photo; it really does make you focus! And thanks for the link to Picasa in your other post - what a great tool :) What a fun idea!!

I've been having so much fun with our daily photos. And, my two cents: This time last year I was about 3 weeks away from my due date. My feet were fat and my back was killing me. And now, I just can't believe that a whole year has passed since then--all the more reason to preserve a little bit of our everyday! <abbr><em><abbr><em>Jennifer´s last blog post..<a href="http://tjedwardsfamily.blogspot.com/2009/01/updating.html" rel="nofollow">Updating.</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Thanks for the mention!

I call it the daily Hayley. I made a poster for the first year and its hung up in our foyer. I'm working on a poster for 1000 daily Hayleys. She is now over 4 and I'm still going. I could have never done this before digital cameras! I love that I have this record of her growing up. I’ve taken a photo of my daughter every day since she was born. I call it the daily Hayley.
