> In order to avoid the hassle of us admins approving every picture, video
and

as

> If you go to the site (http://rockhounds.ning.com) you'll need to sign up

site.
> When you try to join, it'll send me a Join request and I will check it

email

> 
> This site will accept photos and videos, plus it has an area for each
member
> to add their trip reports WITH photos intermixed -  something that isn't
> possible onlist. You can also import YouTube videos (rather than just
> uploading them), email pictures and videos to the site from your cell
phone,

you

> We have 10gb of storage and 100gb of bandwidth for free, about enough for
> 5000 pix or 500 videos (or something like that :). So use Youtube when you
> can for videos if they are huge ;); it doesn't count against storage OR
> bandwidth.

> The Ning platform can do a lot of cool things; I kept this very basic. If
> people use it, I'll start adding more features.

> If you have questions, send me an email.
