Well, this will be my 3rd cheese. I made 2 farm house cheddar's. Going to try Gouda this time. here is my stuff drying after being sanitized. I built the press. I measured the press weights using my refrigeration scale, I figured that would be accurate enough.

Yes, PhotoBucket has instituted a ransom system, asking for money in order to show pictures that had previously been available for free. It is messing up a lot of on-line forums!

You might want to consider uploading the picture directly to this forum. One catch - this forum allows you to upload pictures at full resolution, but it does not scale them before sending them to a browser - the browser will scale them to show appropriately on screen, but in the background multiple megabytes have been sent. This can significantly slow down the forum for some users on limited bandwidth. Also be aware that the forum software often does not orient pictures correctly, especially those from iPhones or other Apple devices - so the picture may come up sideways.

Meanwhile, I don't recall if I have already welcomed you to the forum, but even if I have, welcome! And great job on building the press. We look forward to more reports and more pictures!

I have been frustrated as-well with some of the online hosting sites.  My new solution is to turn my NAS drive into a web server.  That way my photos are mine and nobody can shut it down.

I actually signed up for shutterfly and linked to that. I was going to use flickr but they insisted I open a yahoo email

What software did you use?

What software did you use?

I have a Synology NAS and it comes with the appropriate applications.  I am getting help from an IT friend to get it configured.
