Unless you are running a webserver, you have to upload them to somewhere....

Try Photobucket or Flickr. Flickr is my choice because of the community, the organizing and editing tools. It's a snap to take a flickr photo and display it here in different sizes and you don't take up any room on BOAF. Like this below

That is GORGEOUS, Len!

Does it take a long time, Larry, for you to load a photo that size? - just wondering since you have slow speeds elsewhere.

Image hosting sites that offer a thumbnail are recommended if you want to post a large image. The thumbnail links to the larger image.

I don't know if Photobucket or Flickr offer thumbnails. If your images are edited to something under 100kb and < 800 pixels wide or high, then don't worry about the thumbnail option - most dialup accounts can deal with a few that size in a post.

The following offers thumbnails:

Tnx Shirley for the kind words.

Flickr also offers many more tools to create stuff like calendars and jigsaw puzzles.
