Sending Layouts and Photos by E-mail through XP
Oh my goodness, I saw this on someone's blog or on a social news site (one of them in my blogroll) last week and thought about how I needed to share this tip with the digiworld, especially as I saw it when everyone was telling me how fast I got my layouts in for the "First To's" game the DSS Yahoo Group plays.
This also made me think of how so many ladies say that they save two versions of their layouts on their hard drives, one in the normal large size and one in a small size for e-mailing (or uploading to galleries). I never did agree with using up extra hard drive space for two versions of the same layout. If I made a smaller size, I always deleted it after using it. This trick really makes saving smaller sizes useless.
Now, I need to mention, as I often see everyone in the digiworld copycat, me included, that I got this idea somewhere else. I'd give you the blog where I got this idea from, but I lost it. I've looked, but cannot find it. Shame on me. But I must comment that I've already seen someone else copy this idea and not give credit. How many times do I see ideas circulate in the digiworld and catch on and people do not give credit and post the ideas as if they are their own? I just shake my head. I see a new idea and then suddenly, it's everyone's new idea. I'm here to say, even without a link, I stole this idea.
So, if you want to e-mail quickly and you work in Windows XP, try this trick!
Right click on the file in your folder and choose “send to” and then “mail recipient.” A popup box will appear and, if needed, choose “make all my pictures smaller.” Click okay. A compose box in your default e-mail program will open up with the photo already inserted as an attachment, in a reduced size.
