Picture of the Day

Welcome to the Picture of the Day

Major update coming soon!

This site started as a personal project I've been trying to bring to life for over 10 years. It started in 2010 when I began posting a picture daily on my blog. I did that for 5 years before life got in the way and I started missing posts. I've been trying on and off ever since to get back to it, but I haven't managed for more than a few weeks. I had always wanted to write a site to streamline the posting process, even going so far as registering the domain, PictureOfTheDay.ca, but I never had time or the drive to actually write the site. When I look back and see the posts from the five years, I wish I had more. Of course, I can go to any of the online photo backups I use, to see the photos I took on any given day, but the act of choosing a photo, and writing a brief description can be much more interesting than just a grid of random photos.

Now it's open to the internet, create an account and start capturing a moment of your day. The site is open to anyone, but remember this is a family-friendly site and I will remove inappropriate images. While I want more users, I don't want to over burden the site, so right now after your account is created, I have to give your user permissions to post. I will do that as quickly as I can.

Privacy, maybe you want to start your picture of the day journey but aren't sure about sharing your photos with the world. That's understandable. Currely I have 4 privacy settings for your pictures:

Public, visible to everyone visiting the site, or views your profile.
Private, visible only to you. (And while I strive to keep them private, posting your pictures on this site, I will not guarantee they will remain private.)
Friends, not implemented yet, but when implemented will only show the photo to users of the site you selected as friends.
Shared, not implemented yet. Will show up in your profile and anyone with a direct link can view it, but will not show up on the main page.

Remeber, this site is a work in progress, not all features are implemented and there are probably be some bugs.

I love how the summer weather can change so dramatically. This afternoon it was a beautiful day, with a blue sky filled with white fluffy clouds. By the time we were picking Violet up from dance camp it was a dreary rainy day.
