MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
we have been asked by quite a few of our recent wedding guests if we'll have the photos online atall.. I've been looking into it, and i already have a picasa account, and flickr..but is there anything better?
I played about with a blog, but that doesnt really display like i'd want..
any tips? what is the best way to put many images onto the web..
The best is a custom website...
Easiest is probably [url= http://picasaweb.google.com ]Picasa Web Albums[/url] especially if you already use Picasa.
and if a custom website...how do you do this?! i found one but was limited to 54mb..
i have already done some stuff with the web albums, but its not so personal..
and if a custom website...how do you do this?!
normally you open an account with a hosting company and they allocate you a certain amount of space for storing web pages and other data - or some less flexible sites like [url= http://www.smugmug.com/ ]Smugmug[/url] offer unlimited storage ($40 pa)
If you want something a bit more advanced than flickr etc. then you might want to try www.clikpic.com although you are quite limited by the number of photos you can upload unless you pay a lot for the professional versions.
It's really meant for selling pics on, not just displaying them.
You can also upload to www.Photobox.co.uk and have slideshows etc. If people want prints, they can buy direct from your galleries, I think.
You can probably do this on other sites too.
I'm with smugmug [url= http://www.richmars.smugmug.com ]here[/url]. It's not $40 for the basic, more like $20 I think, but still unlimited. I know you can get free accounts, but I'd rather pay a bit as they should be around a bit longer (hopefully). I use it to back up all my photos as you can set up private areas for stuff you don't want the whole web to see.
The custom side of things is going to cost money, have a look here:
http://www.names.co.uk/starter-hosting.html
£4.99 a month for a started hosting package, this includes the domain, email, photo stuff etc. etc.
Not suggesting this offers the best value out there but gives you an idea
I've used [url= http://gallery.menalto.com/ ]Gallery 2 [/url] in the past and is good when you get it all set up.
Needs PHP & MySQL.
Opensource so it's free if you have the webspace.
It's not $40 for the basic
that was the figure on the site 5 minutes ago...
5 minutes is a long time on the internet.
