Becoming a member on Webshots is easy -- you just provide some simple details like your name, location, and email address -- then after a quick verification process achieved through email, you become a member. Once you are a member, you can use any of the free options, or opt to become a Premium member by paying a subscription charge. Throughgout this series of tutorials, we will explore both the Free and Premium accounts of Webshots -- but for now, let me show you how you can become a free member to start with:

1. Visit the Webshots site, and click on the link that tells you to sign up (on the top right corner of the site) as shown in Figure 1 below.

2. This brings up a login form, as you can see Figure 2 below.

3. Fill all the fields, make sure you enter a valid email address, and then click the Join Now button within the Free section , as shown in Figure 3 below.

   Note: You can also click the Join Now button within the Premium section -- but that's something we will explore in a later post.
   
   
4. If the details you filled in the form are valid, you'll see a modified version of the Webshots site as shown in Figure 4 below. As you can see, Webshots allows you to upload your pictures now -- and that is something that I will explain in more detail in a later post.

5. Do check your mail for a confirmation link -- follow the instructions within the email. Also remember to save your user name and password in a safe place.
   

In the next blog post, I'll explain what the free account allows you to do, and we'll also briefly look at the Premium account.
