What is the best web site to use to make a album of your camping adventures? And why did you pick that one? Are they able to be viewed by anybody? I have saw flickr, photo bucket, webshots but wasn't sure which is best. What do you do to load to these? thanks mike

Best is a matter of opinion. Used to like Picturetrail but they put a limit on the amount of pictures. Switched to Shutterfly, seems you can load them up forever. DW uses Photobucket.

From what I've seen the so-called free photo sites have their own costs. Some are packed with advertizing, others require some number of print purchases, and others have a time limit or storage limit. Since I started putting my pics on-line several have shutdown altogether.
I started out using several of the free sites and quickly got tired of the "costs", so for the last 4-5 years I've been using http://www.smugmug.com. It costs $40/year, BUT you get unlimited stoarge, no advertizing, a great easy-to-use environment, full security control (passwords, hiding, ... all under your control), the ability for viewers to download pics & buy prints (all under your control). For the equivalent of $3.33/month I see this as a great service for a great price.
Recently they just added the ability to upload videos too, though I don't use that capability.
Smugmug.com has a referral program. If you enter this code - b8wLL0z3zSIyY - when signing up, you'll get $5 off your first year's cost, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I'd get $10 off on my yearly renewal. Use it or not - for $3.33/month I'm OK paying the full cost. Regardless, I really like the site, or I wouldn't have kept using it for so many years.
