I had written a few weeks ago that I was having issues with the service I chose to host my photos. I never managed to find a way to get in touch with the folks and the forums were less than helpful. I can’t complain too much because I had a free account. So I found a new service. I don’t even remember what I was reading, but I came across webshots.com. The free account isn’t a bad deal. You get 1000 photos initially and then an additional 100 photos per month of storage space.
Uploading isn’t too bad on Windows. Supposedly there’s a desktop program you can download. Doesn’t do me much good with my main box being booted into Linux 99.9% of the time. The web uploader crashed Firefox in Linux reliably, but it worked fine on Windows XP.
To get my photos uploaded without going back to Windows on my main box, I learned how to mount my XP’s computer’s hard drive as a network share. I backed up all of my photos to my XP box (a good idea any way) and used the web uploader from there.
To make a long story short, all my photos are now posted. Yes, all 706 of them. They can be found here.
