This is just for everyone's info. I use Zenfolio which is 40 dollars a year for me and 50 now as of Feb. 1st for new members. It's unlimited and I have about 30Gb of images there now. They give you the codes for different sizes and even embeddable sideshows now so if you have a website or post a lot of pics, it's the best IMHO. I have been using them for three years now. There are many different applications available to upload to them making it even easier. I have a couple of embedded slideshows on my blog and site if you want to check out how it looks in practice. Zenfolio gives you a code when you sign up and if you decide to use them, use my code and you get five dollars off as do I. The code is 7VD-KZY-78V
You don't have to use my code, every where you look for Zenfolio, someone will have a code for you.

Another good place to host your images is with Microsoft's Skydrive. I've been using it for docs and images for about two years now. It's free and with a 25Gb storage limit and a 50Mb attachment limit, it's pretty cool. There are also several programs available that allow you to upload easily and a very good one is Gladinet that allows you to mount the 25Gb as a virtual hard drive which makes it as easy as it gets to drag and drop files. You have to have a hotmail or live.com email address and that's all you need to use it from any computer.

Another good unlimited hosting site is Zooomr. I've had images hosted there for at least three years. I think there is a 10Mb per file limit and they give you the codes for embedding images at different sizes into sites and forums so it's a nice place. There are a couple of standalone uploaders available for Zooomr too.

You can also host your images at Gmail. It has close to 8Gb of storage now and I've been using them since they first started and you had to get a invite. There is a little program you can use to mount your Gmail storage as a virtual drive called GMail Drive. There is a 20Mb per attachment limit on Gmail and you can embed your images straight from Gmail by using the

it's been a long time, but I'm going to check out Costco since there's one not too far away from me. I used to use Kodak...but I am speaking as a mere "hobbyist" or whatever - not as a professional.
