Because Yahoo Photos sucks!

There are loads of them out there, and I would like your opinions on them. I do any photo editing on my computer before I upload, so those types of features are not important. I primarily upload once a month or less - just to add photo updates of my little guy.

My file sizes are generally around 1mb or less, and I’d like to have room for plenty of them. Spencer’s first birthday is coming up soon!

I have used photobucket for a while. No complaints.

I’m on Flickr, and I really enjoy it. It’s as much a social-networking site as a photo-sharing site, and it’s been growing on me for that reason. That mneans that if you use it the right way, you can learn how to take better photos.

(I’ve also put a few pictures on Photobucket and on Yahoo! Photos, but they don’t have this same dimension that Flickr does.)
