Suggestions for web based photo albums

We used to have Yahoo Photo Album, but this is now history.
Kathy tried using Photobucket and it just sucks!
Any suggestions for a good web based photo album?;)

The best is smugmug. It's not free, but it is very reasonably priced.

Here are a couple of more to try. Webshots (http://www.webshots.com) and flickr (http://www.flickr.com) (requires a yahoo account). Both have a free side and a pay side. Both also have a computer based tool to upload to their respective sites. Webshots is where my personal stuff is and I maintain pictures on flickr for the GA Patriot Guard Riders GA PGR Riders (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ga_pgr_riders/sets/)

I like the google deal. Especially since it integrates nicely with PICASA

If it's not too late, I'll toss another vote in for Smugmug.

I use Flickr, easy and inexpensive for "unlimited" storage.

Nice pictures! Do you know if there a writeup of that trip somewhere? I did not know one could "tour" that close to the reactors!

Different tack - I built my own. Hosted here at the house.

Uses This software (http://gallery.menalto.com/) on my web server.

Now, if I could only take a picture (http://kc7zru.net/gallery/v/k1200lt/) that was worth showing....

That's interesting. Any idea how it compares to Coppermine which is what I'm currently using?

Coppermine almost seems a little heavy weight. The administration is confusing. It's got a bizillion features and I still don't know how to manage them all. I don't like a lot of the default settings but I'm too lazy to figure out how to change them. Plus there doesn't seem to be a way to share an image in two different galleries. One thing I do like is its ability to have protected galleries that are only available to members of admin-controlled groups.

Cheers,

Joel,

Gallery might be for you. It does not have the 'bazillion' features of coppermine or other full fledged (and more generic) packages, but it has always made a nice personal gallery.

I have tried to adapt it early on, but that was a no go due to lack of features, but then again, we need different things here.

in short: You should give it a try. It is a quite nice.

I like the google deal. Especially since it integrates nicely with PICASA+1 here also. I think it's easy to use.
