Looking for "Membership" and "Photo Album" software

[MMacGillivray]

I am fairly sure you could do this with Cornell's Athenagold software.

Each "shop" in the mall gets a unique log in and can upload pictures (which could be made available as a digital download for a modest fee).

They offered this as Included in their "Recep Package" and got a LOT of biz BUT...the Invitations HAD TO include the URL of the site where digi-photos would be placed. They then had a person go around and take digi-candids and pop them up to the site. I was charging them a hefty fee per month but they offered me a "buy-out" which I accepted so THEY are now in full control.

Anyway...just a thought on how to have a USA (Unique Selling Advantage) over other wedding photogs.

I couldn't find this post in our archives, at least not in Feb. 2005...

Hi Dien,

Just a thought:

After all the past archives have been added, maybe create an automatic sitemap xml file of all the posts and feed that sitemap to Google.

Because searching the old sowpub posts using the search function doesn't work very well. So if all the posts are indexed with google, we can use google to search through sowpub...

Hi Ankesh,

Thanks for that suggestion!

I just wanted to let you (and everyone else) know that I'm putting your suggestion into action as we speak...

So, hopefully Sowpub will be more completely indexed by Google in the near future...

in the past.

I don't know when it was, thanks for looking.

I DO remember Don talking about this, and I was under the impression that he was doing this project...not just fishing for future customers...but I may be wrong...you know I can be.

Perhaps one of our archivists can point me to the original post about instant wedding photos. Seems to me that back in the 90's someone used eShowcase software to do this exact same thing...maybe it was from those old times I remember this...

but I could probaly swear that is was Don doing this.

Again Dien, thanks for looking.

fair question to ask.

What software did you use before? He was charging a "hefty fee" per month before he sold it out to the hotel.

Since he sold the idea to the hotel and was getting a monthly fee, then he was or had someone use software back then...what was it and, actually, I wouldn't mind knowing the hotel that bought him out.

Anyhoo, I gots work to do.
