They say a picture is worth a thousand words, or, in some cases, a few clicks of a mouse.

Smilebox dot-com is one of many websites that allow you to send out photos

to your friends and family. The difference is how.

Whether its an e-card, slideshow, or scrapbook, Smilebox has hundreds of

designs that you can use to turn memories into digital works of art.

And it's relatively easy to use.

Let's say you wanted to create and send out a slideshow.

Simply choose a template.

Then, choose a specific design.

Then, go to the top of the page and find your photos and begin playing

around with them, playing with color, adding your own text, or even tweaking the

designs themselves.

Afterwards, and we are skipping ahead a bit, you can preview the designs.

When you're done, you can send them to your friends via email, facebook, or

myspace.

Or if you want, just have them put on DVD, which can be done for a fee.
