Dear members To enable maximum members to participate, the members are free to use the method most convenient to them:
1. Use Google docs as explained by me above and Dinesh ji separately, and use the option of sharing the doc with pasting option. The members are requested to select appropriate page size and image size otherwise each image will go to separate page with lot of empty space. 2. Use Google docs and email the doc as attachment as explained above by me. 3. Use the old method of attachment but attaching only one (or two) attachment in first mail and add more in subsequent mails. 4. Give links to your uploads in other websites (Flicker, Picasa etc.), but providing important information in the mail here. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
