You can also use phpGedView if you have PHP - and you don't need MySQL, although you can also use that with phpGedView - which is FREE.
In addition to Legacy pages, I publish with PGV - see http://rmhh.co.uk/tree2/pedigree.php - using the same method as Glen - pictures and GEDCOM. Pictures also display in events. There's a link to download the software at the bottom of each page.
