Thanks for the info - I'm going to save this when answer just onemore
time (please) so I didn't snip anything below.
By webshots-type accts, I mean places where you have set up albums to
your own group of photos. You can't link people direct to the photos
but you can to the albums, and you can set up a new album for a new
purpose, like to show just one pic you want people to see. You
already know how to use the account and so there's nothing new to
learn (if you're already using it for other things). Disad - they
have to click twice that way, once on the link, then on the thumbnail-
picture in the album that comes up. But the urls don't change and you
control how long it's there, forever if you want.
I'm not familiar with the Yahoo service - it is enough better that I
should learn to use it instead?
