New way to post station pictures
« on: August 19, 2014, 05:00:11 PM »
All,

Various people have said that it is too difficult to upload pictures of
weather stations. I recognize this, and so I am now announcing (what I
think) is a simpler approach.

In order to upload a picture of any weather station, just take the image
on a smartphone (making sure that GPS stamping is turned on for the
camera), and then email it to photo@photo.gladstonefamily.net -- the
subject of the email (if any) will be used as the title of the image.

If all goes well, you should get a response that indicates whether it
worked. To prevent certain potential problems, you will only get a reply
if an image is attached to the email.

If this doesn't work, then *please* let me know and I'll fix it. I'm not
going to update the website until a few of you have tried it and have it
work.

Note that you can upload an image of any weather station that you see in
your travels. If the location doesn't match one that the website knows
about, the image will be kept until the website learns about that
weather station.

Please let me know how it goes.

Philip Gladstone
