Private websites are secure ways of sharing memories with family and friends
10 Reasons Why You Should Pursue This
Lasting Links has developed an exciting and easy-to-use, private website for you. It is designed mainly as site for sharing memories among family and friends and to otherwise communicate with each other. Here are 10 reasons why you should pursue this further:
1. You or anyone you invite can upload content (photos, documents, video clips, audio files, Excel spreadsheets, etc.) to your site.
2. Virtually any type or size of electronic file can be uploaded or downloaded, with your permission.
3. Your private Lasting Links web site becomes the “central nerve center” where your scanned photos and documents are posted for review and from which you draw materials for sharing over the Internet or enjoying in print-on-demand books or music DVDs.
4. The number of files or photographs you can upload is currently unlimited. Upload a few hundred or several thousand!
5. Built-in software accelerates uploading of larger numbers of files.
6. Your site is password-protected. This means your site is private – only those you invite have access.
7. Photo enhancement tools are built right into the site. This means you won’t have to use additional software to perform many enhancements to your photos.
8. Site members can comment on materials that have been posted. This brings a sense of community and continually new content to your site.
9. A member directory allows you and others to email any portion or all members of your website at once.
10. Possible uses are practically unlimited. For example, you may use your site to communicate information and receive applications for coming events, such as a family reunion, or to provide a place for individuals to communicate to others the status of an individual who has been hospitalized with a serious illness, or to store images to prevent further deterioration.
