Snapfish doesn't allow hotlinking. Get a Photobucket account.

a very effective way of displaying your images on the web is to use photoshop's web gallery tool.

file>automate>web gallery

create your gallery and save it all in one folder

get a free webhost account that has ftp access, i reccomend http://portland.co.uk , that's what i use. Upload all your files that make up the gallery. You now have an online gallery with no pop-ups.

That's what I use. I have a web site, www.themotec.com, and I've uploaded over 20 galleries now. Two good things about them are that they use little space, and that PS reduces the image size for you.

Some examples (Each has a different design) :

http://www.themotec.com/Ole/WEB_Gallery18
http://www.themotec.com/Ole/WEB_Gallery2
http://www.themotec.com/Ole/WEB_Gallery

Each gallery takes up about 2-5 MB, so I can have over 50 without running out of space.

I also use a Coppermine Photo Gallery, which has my best photos. You may register in it for free!

what web host do you use?

Mo · Nov 29, 2004

I use Netfirms.

http://www.netfirms.com

I have personal hosting ($5/month) with 250 MB, but there is also free hosting with a free subdomain and 25 MB. I have seen free 150 megabyte hosts, though. Some don't even have ads (Netfirms has a banner, unless you upgrade to paid hosting)

I'd say that Netfirms is good for photos- enough space if each is 100k or so. Easy FTP access. However, you cannot have files over 256 Kb on free hosting. Then you must upgrade.

I've just started posting, and found www.picjar.com which gives you 25Mb for free

EDIT..... Just found that picjar change the image name from time to time so after a few days your photos vanish if you link them with an IMG tag

I've always used

http://www.photobucket.com

They have quick upload speeds and provide you with automated cut and paste links to link to your pics including the {IMG} tag, [IMG SRC] tag and .... could ask for more!

I'm surprised that more here don't have their own website. It's actually quite inexpensive, plus it looks more professional to send a customer to your website to view proofs than to something like:
http://www.freephotohosting.com/freeuseraccounts/yourname/imagefilenameset.html

Coppermine gallery is free, and it seems most everyone here is intelligent enough to follow the setup instructions.

Domain names are cheap, hosting is cheap (how many us us actually need UNLIMITED space???), and all limits are removed when you do it yourself.

Just my thoughts. I run about 20 websites, and it's actually not that complicated. Besides, the policies never change 6 months after you spend a weekend uploading your photos.
