Website

I have a general questions for those of you who have your own personal/family websites. What are good places to start your own website for free? Is it difficult? I have a lot of pictures and a lot of friends who do not live close and it would be nice to have this option for them to go to. Thanks!!

Oh my! I think the last time I had a free site I was 17. I just did a quick search for free websites and I'm as lost as you are.

If all you need to do is share photos, have you looked at http://www.flickr.com , http://www.picasa.com or http://www.shutterfly.com ? If you need to share family news, I've used LiveJournal with great success. You could also link to your photo albums from there.

Did you consider a paid hosting account? You'd have so many more options with your own website. They're really cheap these days, as low as $5/month. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I use a site called smugmug. It is $25 a year to have this site, but it has unlimited space for pictures and is SO easy to use. I have posted over 1000 pictures on there I'm sure! I hope that helps you a little.

We use 360.yahoo.com; most of our family is out of town, and it's nice to post updates, and pictures. Blogspot.com is another good place to post pictures and updates without much work.
