    I need a place to host my pictures!

    I've been hosting my pictures online at Walagata, but apparently at the end of this month all the free accounts will be deleted and it will be a pay-only site. I need a new place to put my pictures on-line since half the boards I visit, including XMarks, require HTML tags to put up pics. Does anyone have any suggestions for free webhosting sites that I can use?

    One resource that many people overlook is their ISP. Many service providers toss their customers a bit of Web space to create a small site. If a provider offers space as part of the service package, you may as well take advantage of it.

    Thanks, all! I'll probably create accounts at several or all of these place, depending on how much space I'm given.

    Mike, I get web space from the University, I didn't even think of that till now. But I probably won't be here past May, so it would only be a short-term fix.

    I tried flickr, the kodak site and a couple of others before I settled on photobucket. I finally learned ( after a lot of patient help from board members) tp add the image tags so my pics appeared in the posts. I used that twice with flickr and after that it no longer worked because they don't allow hotlinking. Photobucket, on the other hand encourages it. They even provide a ling with the image tags already added. It is then is a simple matter to click on the link to highlight it, hit "ctrl c", go back to XMARKS, start yur post and hit "ctrl V" to post your hotlink so your pic appears on the board.
