Hi Myer,
I just checked your website
http://www.travelwalks.com/
where you have downloads of your travel pictures arranged by year and place. I have tons of pictures from my travel to many countries and here in US. I'd like to do what you did:
to have my own travel website and arrange my pictures in albums.
Questions for you:
- How can I get my own travel website? Is it free of charge?
- Do you use Photoshop Elements to edit pictures and arrange them in albums?
Thanks. Lev.

There are several sites that you can share your photos. I like Myers, but they are all pretty good. Some of them have a bit of different ways of doing it. I don't take the time to label each individual photo, but it is nice when someone else is viewing them to know what they are looking at.

Lev,
There are several sites that let you store and display your photos.
I purchased my domain (url) and hosting it costs me $10. per month. I also use it to for my my email.
I wrote the program myself several years ago. I didn't use any tools. I wrote the programming code using aspx.net
I use Photoshop to edit the photos. The reason I don't use Elements or something else is that for some reason I got hooked on a very obscure part of Photoshop (LAB) that very few people even know exists. I read about it somewhere and found that while several books mention it or devote part of a chapter to it, there's really only one book on the topic. So I read it several times and that's what I use. It doesn't exist anywhere else that I know of.
There are some issues on my web site. Since it doesn't show thumbnails, you can't skip to a later part of an album. Oh well...

One other thing about these photo share sights. They are often used in conjunction with making photo albums, pictures, etc.(which I do use their services). However, these companies buy each other out and then you are switched to something else. I was originally on Photoworks, then Shutterfly bought them out. Photoworks was even something before it was photoworks, but I don't remember what it was called.

Did anyone use Blog for photo albums?
I did some research…
Blog is a kind of website where you post new texts and/or images from time to time and your posts are sorted chronologically with latest on top. Many blogs are personal diaries open to public or friends who may post comments to your posts. There are also many professional, political blogs etc.
Two most popular platform for creating blogs are WordPress:
http://wordpress.com/
http://wordpress.org/
and Blogger (owned by Google):
http://blogger.com
It may be easier to use Blogger.com, if the goal is to place photo albums and some travel info and you have google account.
It is possible to create your own blog without even buying hosting and programming: you enter some information, select a template, and use web admin to add new posts and images.On Wordpress.com and Blogger,com
Wordpress.org as a good platform for site development - there you have to buy a hosting and register your own domain name. You can still do very well without a bit if programming using standard templates and admin. On the other side you can dive inside the system and program anything you want.
Blogger may also has tools for programmers to customize it….
I would appreciate if you share your experience in creating your own website to place travel pictures and other travel related stuff.

I use wordpress for my garden blog and it is very easy to use. I use the template provided since I don't know any code. Here's a link to that blog:
http://blog.timesunion.com/gardening/
That isn't where my photographs are online though...I keep mine at Pbase.
http://www.pbase.com/peterb
Pbase has a "blog" template that I did use to write our Utah trip report.
http://www.pbase.com/peterb/utah_tr
Pbase charges a fee but it is a modest and, since i use it to host my blog images, it is a decent value and seems quite stable these days. There were times in the past that Pbase had stability issues (I've been using Pbase since about 2001) but those days seem to be behind us now. I'm glad you enjoyed your Utah trip and thanks for the report.
