What is the deal with the project site being moved to a picture site?
Shutterfly bought out the Nexo site wich was a community building site. Nexo has all of the latest functions, tools and editing capabilities to make a great community. Shutterfly has integrated all of these features and technology to their Shutterfly site. Now on top of having unlimited storage on pictures they also give us the ability to create logical communities to fit our project and needs. Everything from the page layout to the albums to the content can be edited with ease after the small learning curve of figuring out how to do it. Organization is something that, "Portrait Freedom" was long overdue for and its wonderful to find a site like this that will allow such flexability. We ask for your patience as we work the kinks out and get things up an rolling smoothly again. Thanks for being there for us to keep this project going!!
Does my old password still work for this shutterfly site?
No, unfortunately the, "Portrait Freedom" project had to move its home location and we could not migrate everything as easy as we could with other sites but due to the features and ease of use we have decided to us this area. This forces us to ask you to join this site. Its a one time thing like when you joined the MSN groups sites and you will not have to do it again. We do have the option as editors to add you to the group. We need your email to set you up as a group member. You would have to check your email after we set you up and it will have something for you to click on to confirm your membership with us.
