Many, if not most, ISPs offer free or very inexpensive, space on their systems for subscribers. I put my pics up on the Earthlink servers and it works just fine for me. Earthlink allows me to have eight mailboxes, and each mailbox comes with a certain amount of free space which I use for hosting

Hi Tom, I can certainly understand your POV, and far be it from me to dissuade you. I'd like to point out one other thing: Once the three or four lines of code were written, there was no need to write any more code for subsequent pics, and, had I chosen to do so, I could have set things up just

I'll second Shel on that. I use earthlink as well, and you get a total of 80mb divided over 8 sites. Plenty of space to put up a lot of web sized photos. There are also free hosting sites you could look into. You can use your own html and hot link photos you store on quite a few of them,
