OcalaMom.com is giving away five $20 Target giftcards to five randomly selected OcalaMom.com members who submit images to this site between now and the end of March.

These pictures and videos can be of birthdays, play dates, parties, games, etc - all we ask is that they have the "Awwwww...." factor!

You can submit either a video or at least five pictures. To double your chances, submit a photo package AND a video.

Please be sure to include your E-mail address with your photo or video caption information.

You must submit your images and videos through the site, so click on the PHOTOS and VIDEO tabs on our home page to submit them.

Also, at the beginning of March, I will be posting tutorials on how to submit video and photos. Stay tuned for that. In the mean time, if you have any problems or questions, just reply to this post.

Good luck!

This weekend at Kidfetti is a great place to take picturs that you can submit. has anyone ever loaded a video onto MySpace or YouTube?

Hey Dave!
Is it possible to load pics/video with dial-up?...I know... we're still a little behind the times! I have loaded pics to MySpace, but not video.

I'm sure you can upload photos with dial up. I've done it before (and yes I still have dial up so you're not totally alone). I know that it takes a considerable amount of time to accomplish such a feat but rest assured it can be done. I tried to upload some photos of my little one on here the other night but as luck would have it the puter froze up as I was on step 3 of loading. So I'll try again and keep on cursing the cable company until they decide to come out here and string up some cable so I can get DSL.

Thanks Deanna. I guess I'll give it a go! I figured it would take forever if I COULD do it. I wasn't able to watch the videos on here, so I wasn't sure if I should even try and load one.

We just upgraded last year to DSL, too, and spent many annoyingly frustrating hours uploading pics (never tried video!) w/ dial up. Guess you could read a magazine or something while you wait! lol

I rarely am lucky enough to get to read a magazine!! (although my thoughtful husband does bring home magazines that people leave on airplanes he flies. When he brings home an US weekly, it's like Christmas. I guess I could buy one, but that takes the excitment out of it.) I usually up/download inbetween chasing kids and cleaning!

I'm still waiting to see some photos, ladies!!! Get in there and get a chance to win a Target gift card just for sharing.

I'm trying Robyn. I've tried twice and after, at least, 1 hr. of loading (5 pics) I get the following message..
"f is a mandatory field. You must enter a value for it."
Anyone know what the hay that means???

I'm asking the techies to assist, let me see what I can do.

My IT gurus are asking if you resized the photo to be less than 2 megabytes?

Coopellie:

Can you email me those pictures at dave.rhea@starbanner.com? I will try to mess around and see if I can get them loaded...

They're on their way! Thanks Dave!

bump, bump, bump!

Just reminding everyone to submit your pictures and videos!!!
Seriously -- 5 random people will get $20 Target gift cards! I, for one, could find something to do with $20 at Target.
If you're having any difficulty w/ adding your images, let us know if you need help!

Just saying....It's already the 16th.

I think that the key to dial-up uploading is to SIZE the pictures first. Make them 72 DPI. Also, make sure they are under 500 pixels. Or, if you are working in inches, make them about 4x5 or so. Most times, a camera takes a picture at 200+ dpi and 24 inches or something crazy like that (for photo quality's sake). So if you try to upload that over dial-up, you'll certainly have problems.
