Sharing Pictures with Donors

Now that I have been offering this service for a few
months, I have started to notice "sending" trends.
For instance, many of your emails revolve around
specific events, including conferences. Since there
is a limit to how many photos can be included in any
given email update, one way to share a more extensive
photo album is to set one up online. If you have a
ministry website set up, post your pictures from
Spring Conference and provide the link.

If you don't have a website, there are good online photo-sharing programs out there such as the popular Flickr. Here are a couple of links for you:
http://www.flickr.com/
http://picasaweb.google.com (not to be confused with the Picasa software program)
You will want to avoid using a site that requires a donor to set up a username and password. Whilst Facebook might seem like a natural place to post pictures (and it is if you spend time there), the chance that Aunt Betsy and a majority of your donor list have pages themselves is unlikely.
