I just scaned in some pictures of the May 25, 2003 Element Meet in Burlington and I wanted to show them here.
I thought about Geocities but it seems like everyone has a hard time getting the links to work. I know that there are other solutions but I just don't know what they are.

Your ISP usually offers some web spaces (20megs) Check there home page and look for up load instructions.

My ISP does have a free web space but the Help site says that I have to call in and get it activated, which I think is a bit too much work just to post some pictures.

P3....with all my issues with free space through Yahoo/Geocities I have given up posting my own pictures....you can always buddy up with another member and ask them very nicely to help you out (Like Kim and Iskie did for me :lol: ) or you can always email Tom (T Mac) the picture and have him post it (he also helped me out with this).

I might be able to host a pic or two, but our bandwidth is getting huge on the site and starting to add up in price so I'm trying to limit hosting images as much as possible. I'll do my best to work with everyone though.

Suggestion
Yahoo offers free image hosting, as far as I can tell. Take a look at this:

Thanks!!

FWIW, I've been using geocities ($4.95/month) and never had a problem.

GeoCities does not allow you to link to a picture (.jpg or .gif) file. But they do let you link to a .txt file.

I change the extension on all my picture file names to be, e.g., "MeandHenry.txt" instead of "MeandHenry.jpg" and GeoCities has nothing at all to say about it.

I don't usually try to scam on someone but I'm right pissed at GeoCities because Yahoo! owns them, and SBCYahoo DSL is my DSL provider. My former DSL service (DirecTVInternet, which went belly up) gave you this nice chunk of FTP space. I understood when I signed up with SBC that they did the same. And then found out that they did not. So they suck. Therefore, I feel okay about scamming on them.

If you do this for massive pictures or many many pictures, you'll eventually hit your transfer limit, but so far, I haven't. :::knocks wood:::
