Does anyone know where I can get some **FREE** web space? I collect pics of all kinds and from time to time I would like to post a link to one of them. I don’t even want to make a homepage or anything. Just a Meg or two of **FREE** space that I can up load a file to. Did I mention that it has to be **FREE**? ---

hey **6**! Try [tripod.com](http://tripod.com), [geocities.com](http://geocities.com) or [websamba.com](http://websamba.com) All **free**. You should also be able to go through your ISP and get something. But the other ones are less traceable to personal info and did I mention they’re **free**? ---

Do you have an ftp program? If not, I can point you in the direction of some **free** ones. You know, to go with the **free** web space. And I won’t even charge you for the info. 😃 ---

Thanks, dear. ISP is a Cheapskate POS no-go. But I’ll check out those others. I think I can hook up the FTP stuff, but if I can’t, I know who to call. 🙂 ---

Take a look at [www.1and1.com](http://www.1and1.com). I don’t have any personal knowledge about it, and I can’t figure out how they can make money with no ads, and 3 years of free web hosting, but… ---

First of all, never post your photos on a free website without reading the TOS first. Check this from Photoisland’s TOS: “E. Sharing Your Images By choosing to share your images in the Public Gallery you permit other PhotoIsland users to use such images and grant PhotoIsland a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute and display throughout the world those images for any purpose, including, but not limited to, marketing and advertising.” See, there you are, watching football on tv & a photo of your family flashes on the screen. tsk ---

Thanks for the tip, **Handy**. I mostly wanted it to post pics that I have downloaded, like Jimi above. I’ll be careful about personal pics. I must admit, I didn’t see that. 🙂
