I have webshots right now and you are only aloud 240 pictures on there for the basic one( so I dont have to pay) and I have made 2 ablums aready and I just want one! Does anyone know where I can get a *free* photo ablum that can hold more than 300 pictures? thx I RATE HIGH!!

If you want to direct link the photos in your album on another website (e.g. Xanga or MySpace), I would recommend http://www.photobucket.com, it allows you to have 25 megabytes of photos for free, which means about 500 photos of 50 kilobytes each. (JPEG files of 500 x 575 pixels would be just under 50 kilobytes) If you're direct linking, then you probably shouldn't have anything bigger than that anyway because that will cause page widening...

If you're not going to direct link the files, I think a Yahoo photo album would be good because it has unlimited storage... However, you cannot direct link to anything on Yahoo...

My brother set Mozilla Firefox to be the default internet program (I hope I'm phrasing that right). Whenever I click on a link, it pops up in Mozilla Firefox. I just don't like it because I'm too used to Internet Explorer. How do I change it back to Internet Explorer again? Thank you.

I would strongly recommend you to keep using Mozilla Firefox because it is less vulnerable to spyware, and it offers useful features such as tabbed browsing that you don't get in IE, and it is also very customisable. I could go on and on about it, see http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ for more details.

If you still insist on using IE, here's how you do it:
Open IE, Click on "Tools" > Choose "Internet Options" > Click the "Programs" tab > Check the box next to "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" > Close IE and reopen it, it should ask you whether you want to set it as the default browser.

okay im in middle schooland i have absolutly no motivation for school.. i go b.c of my friends i used o love it last year but now its totaly is boring.. and all the work is WAY to easy..and i HATE all my teachers..and they rely dont like me ..the whole gothic thing they dont like it.. what should i do?

Try and finish everything way ahead of everyone else and then ask for more work in class... You can be way ahead of everyone else...

If you're not in your final year, you can even ask to be put up a year... Of course, it won't be that easy, and you might need to find a different school that will let you be put up a year...

Whatever you do, don't just sit there and be a slacker, you'll regret it...

I logged onto AIM and my font name was called Sydnie and a friend of mine had that same font so I tried to IM her, but my text wasn't showing up. I figured maybe my colors got messed up or something so I checked and I made sure my background was white and my font was pink the way I had it. Even on the little thing where it shows you what your font point is and color and everything, it still didn't show up. I tried re-booting my computer and that didn't work either. It only did it with that font, so I ended up changing my font. It's not a huge deal, but I just wanted to know why that would have been happening. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Reinstalling the font might work...

Hi! I need to make a webpage for a class through either Microsoft FrontPage or Notepad, but I wanted to know do you need a FTP program to view the webpage? I'm trying to work on the webpage but its not viewing correctly. Thanks in advance!

For a simple web page, you should be able to view it in any browser, or at least any recently released versions... It shouldn't look too different when opened in different browsers...

If your page uses server side scripting like SSI, you might need to upload it to a server that supports such scripts, but if it's a web page for a class, do you really need to do that?

How do I download my pictures from my computer to a dvd disk

You need a DVD read/write drive and a blank DVD. In Windows Explorer, copy the file to the DVD and on the left there should be the option to burn the file to the DVD...

By the way, the acronym DVD already has disk in it, so if you say "DVD disk" it'll mean "digital versatile disk disk"... This is the so called "RAS syndrome"...

I recently had about 100,000 smileys from SmileyCentral.com, they were awesome, but now I wanted to install them. They are installed, but not in my AIM instant message. It will only let me send it through some E-mail thing. How do you get them on your instant message to send?

In AIM, is there a custom smileys (or emoticons) function? I would suggest that you use that instead, because SmileyCentral is bundled with spyware...

um um um um um i have this dog and he wets the bed i wanted to know if you know of any councling i should get for him or if all hope is lost and i should just shoot him in the head

How long has this been happening for? Have there been any big changes in your dog's life? It might not be settling well to the changes... Try shouting at the dog when it wets the bed, hopefully it'll know not to do that again... Also try taking it out more often so it can go outside and not wet the bed...

Ok, my friend has this Compaq Presario (laptop), and there is no print screen key. She really needs to get her screen copied to her 'clipboard' so she can put it on paint (she wants to make msn avatars using cartoon dolls) and I don't know how to help her because I'm not using a laptop!!! Is there some control+? combination or something? This is urgent...thanks!
NOTE: I've tried google and other help sites but can find nothing...

A laptop should have a key labelled "PrntScrn" or "Prt Sc" or something like that... If there isn't one, show me a picture of the keyboard and see if I can find it...
