Image Hosting
I wanted to find some software that would allow me to do some things with my photos. Specifically, I wanted to be able to tag/categorize my images, upload them to a website, and have the wesbite host them for me for free. The main reason that I want to do this is that I want to compile some of my freight graffiti images, and it seemed logical to tag them with the tagger's name or pseudonym or the message that was painted on the train. My thought was that, if I put the images out there, then people should be able come to a web page on my site, click on the "tag", and then be directed to the images in question. However, this is not possible without tagging the photos, and that meant some new software. I tried using Flickr, but they aren't really set up to allow you to link the images to an external website. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but it certainly isn't easy. I looked at PhotoBucket, but their categories seemed like a taxonomical nightmare. In the end, I looked at this review of the various services, and have decided to go with Google's Picasa Image Hosting.
