I like Flickr, but sometimes....
I like Flickr, it is a pretty cool service, unlimited storage and affordable even if you pay for it, although the free account they give you has some pretty nasty limitations. My pro account just expired this weekend and seems like I'm going to be forced to shell those $25/yr if I want to see all my pictures (with the free account you can only see your most recent 200 pictures...arghh).
On the other hand, it seems like they are against embedding slideshows in a website. With Picasa I just click a button and it will embed a slideshow or give me the code to embed the slideshow in this blog or website, not the same with Flickr, nada.
With Flickr you can only blog one picture at a time, however, there are several websites out there where you can enter the URL for your photo set and it will generate a code for you to copy and paste into your website/blog and "voila" you have a slideshow from Flickr.
This seems to work for everyone except for me. I have an idea that it might have something to do with the fact that I used to use Yahoo Photos and then my pictures were moved to Flickr.
I like Picasa a lot better but it has limited storage which grows very slow and the paid option doesn't compare to the paid option from Flickr.
So, here I am trying to figure out which site to use once and for all, not an easy choice if you cherish your pictures and want to have them online and don't like to pay a yearly fee and both sites has pros and cons :-
When is the World Wide Web going to evolve and truly become free for all? Probably never...
So, if you click the link below you can access the pictures I was talking about on my previous post. As I was only able to post one, I chose one of my favorite one from that set, by the way, if you are not a pro photographer and don't know how to use your digital camera very well (like me) you will find it hard to take pictures like these under the same circumstances.
