Digital Photo Frames

Okay the first problem that I hear about is how do you get the photos on the digital photo frame. I was in line buying this and someone asked me innocently enough - "How do you get the photos on the darn device." I though this was a legitimate question that most consumers must have that do not know a tremendous amount about computers.

I will make it easy - 3 steps

1) You need a memory card. Most people don't know this. They get the frame and find out it can hold 5 photos or worst none. Think of it as a CD for your CD player. Mostly all Digital Photo Frames will take SD, so that's the safest bet. Getting something under 2 GB is also a safe bet (even though the sales guys will tell you all digital photo frames can handle any size memory you put it in).

2) You will need some way to get the photos from the computer to the memory card. (You can sometimes buy a memory card that comes with an adaptor that allows you to plug it into the USB port on your computer, or your computer or printer may have this slot already built in. Once you can figure out how to get the memory card read by the computer that has the photos your more than halfway there!) There is also the sure fire way of using your camera as memory card reader - read more on this here

3) Get The SD Card Into the Digital Frame and get the slide show going (if it automatically doesn't start)
