I am having a problem with the upload too. getting the following error message:

The Website Cannot Display the Page

Most likely causes:
The website is under maintenance.
The website has a programming error.

Remember you cant just upload direct from the digital camera or the files will be huge and you'll get those errors.

We have ten entries now but can accept a few more, email them to webmaster@huahinafterdark.com and they will be included.

Will run the comp tomorrow.

I struggled with this re-sizing issue for the first competition but have since found out that the camera is savvier than me, and can do it for you with two presses of a button. If anyone else is having problems with this, have a look at the camera menu, I had know idea that this function existed.

There are plenty of image resizing applications that you can download if your camera can't do it, or your existing software doesn't (although i would doubt that). I haven't tested it myself but adionSoft Fast Image Resizer would seem to do the trick for Windows users. Mac users will normally have something on their system already I think.

It might be a good idea to hold a sort of teaching session for those that want to acquire some general computer skills. Like picture resizing and the like. Photo-shop is a great programme, which I would be happy to show people, although I suspect there are a lot of people out there that could show me a thing or two. We could meet at someones house, and impart some knowledge to each other. Just a thought.... Very Happy
