Well, it’s finally time for me to learn a new thing - how to upload my digital pictures to the internet so I can share them with all y’all. So, anybody want to tutor me? ---

[Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/) is also pretty easy and has lots of fun things to play with. ---

I’m a fan of [http://www.webshots.com](http://www.webshots.com) but they will all work well for you. Your ISP may also give you several megs of webspace that you can use. ---

- - - If your internet service provider gives you free webspace anyway (usually 5 megs in the US, for home/residential accounts) it’s better to use that because people trying to view the pics won’t ever get the dreaded “bandwidth has been exceeded” page, unless you put up a _really amazing_ photo. ~ ---

Oh, and per how to do such things, well, they all vearry. Tell us what service doesn’t work, **then** we can tell you how to do it. ---

Yahoo bought Flickr, but they still have their old photo service at [photos.yahoo.com](http://photos.yahoo.com), which last time I checked gave you unlimited space for free. Not so with Flickr. ---

I just FTP mine to a folder within the free web/FTP space that comes with my ISP account. I hate those irritating built-in webby software-wrappers that most photosites impose on you! ---

Hokay, I have registered and uploaded a picture with image shack - take a [look!](http://img105.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sunbathingbeauties054bb.jpg). Thanks for the tutelage, everybody. It actually was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I probably should have learned this a long time ago.
