Websites for uploading your memories on a shoestring  只要花少少的钱，就能把自己的回忆上传留存的网站

While the days of the portable photo book are over, people have difficulty seeking out photos, regardless of ease. Here are some creative ways to display your photos for next to nothing.

虽然那些可以携带的相片簿已经过时了，而被数码相片所取代，但人们却发现，虽然如今相片处理起来并不费力，但想找到自己要的照片却非常花工夫。以下提供一些花少少的钱就能展示相片的创意方式：

Use basic software to make a video photo collage. Windows Movie Maker offers a free download that makes it a cinch to add photos and/or videos with music, titles, and audio. If you own a Mac, use iMovie to do the same. Burning to a disc with a printable label will only cost you around $3 per DVD.

利用基本软件来制作影像相片拼贴成品。Windows Movie Maker提供可免费下载版本，让你能轻而易举地帮相片和／或影像添加配乐、标题和声音；而如果你的计算机是麦金塔的，也可以改用iMovie办到。如果再把成品刻录到贴了印有主题卷标的光盘片上，所制成的DVD每片只要花三美元左右。

Shutterfly now offers free, customizable sites for you to upload your pictures easily and allows viewers to order prints. You can enroll specific family members and friends to your site to avoid stalkers. The baby templates are really fun and inviting. Flicker is another great spot for photo organization with editing and sharing capabilities.

如今Shutterfly有提供免费、客制化的相片网站，可以让你轻松地上传相片，而观赏者也可以订购印制出来的成品。你还可以为特定家人和朋友注册上你的网址，以避免被其他人偷窥。专为婴儿相片所设计的数字相簿样本既好玩，又吸引人。Flickr也是管理相片的绝佳网站，具有编辑和分享等功能。

If you have a big extended family who keeps in touch, check out MyFamily.com. It’s basically a Facebookish app with more options to keeping the relatives in the know. The basic service is free and the next level is $24.95 per year, which works out to just over $2 per month. You’ll get 100MB per member of monthly uploads, unlimited storage, and some fun themes to choose from. On MyFamily.com you can add discussion boards, files, photos, videos, family trees, and voice messages.

如果你属于大家族的一员，而且亲人间保持密切联系，就不妨上MyFmily.com瞧瞧。该网站基本上有类似Facebook的应用功能，但提供了更多能让亲友得知近况的选项。基本的服务是免费的，但高阶一点的服务则每年收费二十四点九五美元，平均下来每个月只要二美元出头。每位会员有100MB的每月上传量、无上限的储存量，以及一些有趣的主题可供选择。你还可以在MyFamily.com网站上，添加讨论主题室、档案、相片、影像、家谱和语音消息等。

Any of the options above will get images out to those all-too-interested aunts and uncles without having loads of hard copies to tote around. Streamline the memories with these free options.

上面所有选择都能让你把影像和一些对相片太过感兴趣的叔叔阿姨们分享，而不必再背着一大堆印出来的相片跑来跑去了（译注：all-too-interested指太过感兴趣，在这里是幽默的说法，指这些亲戚未免也太过好奇了，一头热地想争睹某些照片；而tote around则指携带某个东西，例如学生携带书包等等。这里的情况是指，某家族发生了人生大事，例如婴儿诞生了，因此住在各地的亲戚都非常想看看婴儿的照片，但由于大家散居各地，因此上传到网站就可以方便大家欣赏，甚至可以付费给网站来印出纸本的相片，就可以省去背着相片簿四处跑亲戚家给他们看的麻烦）。你也不妨改用这些免费的选项，把回忆变得更精简吧！
