re your post #77 - do you use that service? Someone else recently sent me a link to a service like that, but I really think there are many better ways to host photos on the web if you want to do that. I am not into that at all because it seems like too much of a violation of privacy if you want to actually be a private person.
The benefits of the Hello-Picasa services are that they're affiliated with Google and allow users to browse all the same photos together while chatting about them.
I could upload hundreds of pics almost instantly and a dozen others (by invitation only) could browse them, picking and choosing the ones they wanted, from a single screen.
I've used it for about two years now, and highly recommend it, as privacy is not an issue with this service.
