I hate feeling stupid, but here goes. I’m pretty 'net impaired.:rolleyes: I don’t have a web site to post pictures to. Is there another way to show my pictures to my Doper friends?😕

Not on the boards _per se_ - if email is not an option, you could find a friendly friend and ask them to host the pics for you?

The simplest thing is a free web page from [http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/learn2/HowItWorks4\_Free.html](http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/learn2/HowItWorks4_Free.html)
They have lots of formats, select the “Page Wizards” for easiest use.
They will walk you though the steps. There’s a photo album format that’s easy.
Then you post the link to the website (not individual photos)

Oh **intheblink** thank you, I’ll try that. I’m facing a big up grade on my machine, and not looking forward to it. I have to reformat my harddrive and start over. Having my pictures stored on line means one more thing I don’t have to burn.

Or use [groups.msn.com](http://groups.msn.com).
The problem with Geocities is their bandwidth limit. If you link pics and the thread is popular, the site will be locked down by lunchtime.

I’ve had good luck with [http://www.webshots.com](http://www.webshots.com) for sharing photos easily. They even allow fullsized images.

I guess I forgot to mention I drive a Mac. The sites suggested don’t support me ☹

Sometimes you can have your files or pictures in your case stored as part of your ISP account. I know that I can with SBC/Yahoo. You might want to check that out plus I would always recommend that you have valuable data and or pictures backed up on a CD just in case the hard drive decides to die.
