Wednesday Weevils #4 : FooFoo

I almost forgot about Wednesday Weevils. Oops! Being back at college my time spent on my ‘puter is, well, minimal, if only to play a little music whilst hovering around. So I still need to reply to comments from last week’s weevils… and er, generally, get my butt into online-action.

I’ve actually got a rather sore throat that isn’t particularly comfortable, and my eyes feel all droopy and overworked. Me just wants to sleep right now. Pooof.

But, I’d better do these weevils, although, admittedly, I haven’t had many ‘web wonderings‘ in the past few days that really constitute an entire post worth of rambling. (Does anything?).

Alas, I have one wondering though, that you might be able to help me with…

So, you may have noticed the title, ‘FooFoo‘? Well, I’m sorry to disappoint, but it’s not actually anything that interesting at all. I just get bored of using the same normal words all the time.

No, I’m actually on about photos. Sort of. You see, I’ve had a flickr account for a little while now. Originally, I was good at updating it pretty much regularly, but now, like most things, I’ve been slacking.

However, I was uploading some photos over the weekend, and was unpleasantly surprised to find I’d reached my photo limit for my free basic account.

Crappers.

I had never realised you could only hold 200 photos at one time.

Flickr told me that I could still upload, but that some would be ‘hidden’, but not deleted. That won’t do, for me, though.

I’m not a photographer at all, but I do like having images to rekindle memories of events and emotions.

Being short of a credit card, I can’t actually upgrade my flickr account, which I wouldn’t mind doing.

So I’ve had to ponder the possibility of finding somewhere else to put my foofoos.

I did create a subdomain here, at the site, to store my photos, but, for some reason I never felt quite comfortable doing that.

It uses Coppermine Gallery, which, is pretty powerful, but I wouldn’t know where to start to make my own design, and sometimes, I feel it’s a bit too powerful and function-full for just general photo uploading and sharing.

Here’s where you come in.

Do you know of any good places for storing and sharing photos? Or perhaps generally any alternatives for photo storing. Maybe there is an amazing web application I have yet to find out about that could be hosted here.

I had considered a photoblog powered by WordPress… but, I don’t know… I have a lot of ‘back dated’ photos I’d like to post…

Oh, I don’t know.

Do you?

Psst.

    Eek, that’s why I have a pro account…I love flickr but I hate their basic account.

    You could try multiply.com, I think you can store as much photos as you want…or maybe google has its own photo service? I’m not sure.

    “Pooof” indeed, Emz!

    Hmm, Mari is probably going to get herself a Flickr pro account if she ever gets a nice camera.

    It does suck that they require a credit card. Mari thought they had a PayPal option, though…

    Mari really doesn’t know where to put photos online. Mari was going to use Flickr, but now it sounds like a pretty stupid option…

    I’ve had a Flickr pro account for a little under a year now… which reminds me, I need to renew it in a month or two!
    Anyway… I think it’s definitely worth it if you can find out the way to pay for it… Don’t they accept PayPal? I dunno…
    Or you could try zooomr: http://www.zooomr.com/
    I’ve heard some pretty good things about it…

    I can’t think of an alternative for you either. I have a Flickr account as well and when I saw that 200 limit I almost cried. I’m actually considering just putting the galleries on my site again. Why pay for a pro account when I’m paying plenty for my webspace and I have more than enough room for them.
