Posting videos on the web site

If you would like to post videos on this web site it is easy to establish a Photobucket account and then download the files here. Go to Photobucket.com and you can load pictures and videos. It's free to a point but if you want the mor advanced, it's $30.00 a year to set up your account. I have used this for about 10 years for a catalyst for posting pictures and videos.

A book "Cotton Mill, Commercial Features" By Daniel Augustus Tompkins

DVD High Shoals, NC The Cotton Mill Years Now available

This DVD is now available at Drums Florist in Lincolnton, NC. Many people have helped to put this project together from donating pictures to stories and information on High Shoals. David Foster was a great help in the project.

Jeffery Lynn Reed was also very helpful in donating his music to the project.

Thanks to all who worked on this window into the past.

I noticed nobody has ever uploaded a video so I thought I would be the first to do it, I was wanting to upload a home video from my personal files which was formated in Quicktime but it had to have the embed code to upload so I was lost, so I went to a website called "streetfire.net" where I have uploaded my videos before and there I could copy the embed code and paste it on the High Shoals website to upload the video and it worked fine. So do you have any advise on how to upload videos without the embed code just like we do with the photos or could the website be set up to accept videos the same as the photos, I feel like they would be a lot more videos posted if they were easier to upload.

Thanks, Gary

You and Steve Bailey were in a fight and when Steve finally started to get the upper hand, I had to punch out your older brother to keep him from pulling him off of you!! Your mother came and yelled at my mother, telling her to keep me away from your brother. She called me an ugly name, but I know it was just because she was angry!! If you haven't guessed, I'm Steve's sister! Donnie"
