Their respect for intellectual property rights and privacy leaves a lot to be desired. When some of my non-photographer friends ask me about putting photos online, I usually recommend Smugmug. It is pretty easy as well, the uptime is 100% (my experience during past 2-3 years that I have been using it), and their customer service is impeccable. I had a problem this week having to do with the Java version on my Powerbook, and they pointed me to a solution within 2 hours of me sending an e-mail to their helpdesk. It is not free (I have the Pro version, $100/year) but you get what you pay for (and there is a cheaper, $40 version, and I think even a free one with some limitations). Oh, BTW, your pics are nice :-) Nathan Phil Swango wrote: > I've been trying out a newish service from Picasa where you post > photos to > the web in your own space, which can be either public or private.
