Hi folks -- as I just mentioned in my R7 preview
post, the guys over at AOL
Pictures just launched a new photo-display
thingy that you'll be able to use in your Web pages and
blogs -- it's called woohoo:
As you can see, you can click and drag the photos around -- double-clicking photos enlarges them, etc.
Like the AOL Pictures folks say in their blog entry, this is an early test version, so it requires that you have an AIM Page profile first. Later versions of woohoo will have more features and won't require that you go through AIM Pages first -- this was basically a slick implementation that they put together really quickly.
I'll do full instructions once the Journals guys push R7 to production (tomorrow, 7/27, fingers crossed).
In the meantime, you can play with woohoo in your beta Journal (just add "beta" in front of your Journal's address, like:
http://beta.journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke
You might want to create a test Journal to play around with, instead of messing with your real Journal).
For example, here is my AIM Pages profile, which, to my enduring shame, I still haven't done too much with.
If you note, the photos in my AIM Page profile's photo module are the same photos that show up in the woohoo module above.
The basic steps for getting a woohoo photo thingy in your Journal are:
If you do stick a woohoo in your Journal, show it off! -- Leave a comment in this entry with a link to your entry so we all can see it.
Thanks -- Joe

The basic steps for getting a woohoo photo thingy in your Journal are:
- Make an AIM Page profile -- make sure it has a photo module in it.
- Add photos to
the photo module -- you can copy them from your existing AOL
Pictures
- Go to woohoo.aim.com, then follow the instructions and click publish
- Take the HTML code that they give you, and publish it to your Beta Journal.
