I would like to put my digital photos to an on-line photo album. therefore, friends and family can access it and view any updates I put there. What do you suggest I use. I need something simple that I can upload my images from my hard drive and then be able to delete/edit which photos I want and don't want to use. } I need it to be fairly simple (for me a simple girl ) Thanks

Skootz, I've looked at pictures on a couple sites but haven't uploaded my own, so I don't know which is easier. One is ofoto.com. The other is snapfish.com.

Skootz: You may want to check out www.SnapFish.com for your needs. I haven't used any service like this so I'm not sure of what to look for, however, I have heard this one mentioned on occasions. Hope this helps.

I use photobucket. It's very easy to use. The address is www.photobucket.com

I have used Snapfish, but it makes people register in order to view photos. Maybe all of them do. But I have had people tell me they refuse to register; therefore they would not be viewing my photos.

Skootz, I've registered for Snapfish.com recently...and it was to view a friends' photo album (not Juju's, as I am not a friend of hers, but only a figment of her imagination...LOL!). Anyway, I've also recently downloaded some digital pics at Sam's Club kiosk and did the crop/edit/resize on several of my pics. I discovered two things as a result of these two ventures. #1. I stood for 2 miserable long hours at Sam's Club and my legs/feet were killing me by the time I finished with my pics!! #2. The time and money I spent at Sam's Club was within line of what Snapfish.com would have charged. So the moral of my story is this: I could have ordered my pics at Snapfish.com while sitting on my butt instead of standing for 2 hours at Sam's Club and the cost would have been very similar.
P.S. I suppose if you were in a hurry to get your pics, then Sam's Club would be the way to go. Since I've never ordered (yet) at Snapfish.com, I don't know how long the mailing process would take, but I bet it's not that bad.

Thanks for the input..I have one album ready on snapfish. Now that Juju has mentioned that people have to register to see them, I may try another route. My cousin was talking about using photoshop 7, so I will have to check out that one. He has a program so he can hook up to my computer and get me started. I do know Ejbok about the kiosk things, but yes it is much much easier doing it on-line (I am in Canada so I cannot do the snapfish digital photos to be mailed to me) I have used Carmen cameras before on line - I have their program and could add the photos and then they are sent to them. I had to use this service because idiot me went and accidentally reformatted my card in the camera and couldn't use the kiosk. One thing I learned that when I go and crop the photos etc. The ones that I I want to have developed, I save to one file so if I mess up I have the photos all in one spot so I don't have to search again for them.

Hey Skootz I'm in Canada too. I was wondering if you have tried the Future Shop site? You can upload photos and edit them online, AND, friends can log on, and everyone can order prints, to be picked up at Future Shop. Just a thought. I had some pics from a staff golf tourney, and I just put them online, and everyone could order from there, OR, they could copy the picture onto the computer and do what they want with it.

Great idea Eeyore...I will check them out too. So far I have been saving photos to snap fish..more for security that if my hard drive crashes before I get a dvd/rw drive and I can burn them on there. I actually looked at them today and may just take in my puter and get one installed in the next week or 2.
