Post A Picture... Send It As An eCard

Just wanted to let you know that The Actor's Checklist (http://www.actorschecklist.com) now has photo post and eCard/postcard sending capabilities. And actually you are able to mount your own photo on an eCard to send out. A pretty unique feature not often found on such similar services. Of course if you just want to send a postcard with a scenic background photo, there is also an attractive selection of photos to choose from. Right now the categories for picture/thumbnail posting include: actors-actresses; children's pageants-acting; comedy-spoken word; hip hop and rap; miscellaneous show biz; models; musical artists-bands; scenic photographs which can be used on eCards for those who don't want to send their own image; and a category for practically everyone else who wants to post and share photos to be able to do so. The most direct link to get to the gallery is: http://www.actorschecklist.com/cgi/cgi-bin/ImageFolio31/imageFolio.cgi, but actually the gallery can be accessed from anywhere on The Actor's Checklist. Take a look, and if you have any questions of any kind, don't hesitate to contact me. I certainly welcome your feedback.Have fun!
