Recommendation for a photo site

I want to post a bunch of photos for a guy on the Blue Forum. (don't want to take up a lot of space on Norcal) so what's the best free site to open an account? Like Photobucket of flicker-something. Looking for easy and universally accepted.

I ditto OPG's suggestions. I use Picasa (via google.com) and Flickr (via yahoo.com).

If you are a Mac user, photo's sync with Flickr with just a click of a button....easy-breezy.

Thanks. Do either of these require one to "join" the site in order to access pics.?

I believe yes, you need either a gmail or yahoo account...but it's free...and you can always use it for 'junk mail.' To share, both have a 'share' feature allowing you to copy/paste the link...here are two examples:

Ive used photobucket for years now with no problems.
It's free but you do have to sign up.

i started with Photobucket when i joined the Blue Room a while back. only used it for photo hosting, no slideshows, etc. and it worked fine. Picasa seems pretty cool too. i know some allow you to create and print photo albums (books), which is cool, but obviously not what you are looking to do. i still think that Apple has the best layout and production of photo albums though...well, at least from what i've seen.

however, if you think you may want to import some of your photos to the NorCal site, then go for Flickr as this website is integrated with it for easy transferring of photos.

Cool! (this was meant for a Blue Forum questioner, not trying to bore anyone on this site) Thanks for all the help!
