Since my foods look so good that I want the whole world to see, I would like
to put photos online that I can link out of my website to without building
another complete website.

Which ones do you suggest? Rather than something like tinyurl that has some
limits on the size and text. I use flickr now, and it has a space for
description. I wouldn't know how many pics and recipes I could put a month
without getting over the line and into more money until I do it, but it
seems like quite a few.

Other options? Maybe a site where they have free or cheap parking, and it
would help me affiliate market with them?

TIA

I dunno, but maybe www.facebook.com might be a start...

Om and I have used Picasa.com to post pictures here. I have no idea
how that works for website linking. Photobucket.com is another
option. Google "image hosting free photo sharing" and see what turns
up.

Quite a few ISPs have discontinued alt.binaries.food, my own ISP
included.

The offer to use my Usenet account for alt.binaries food, while not
available to Steve B and a few others, is still open for trusted
posters (and readers).

I've had the account for maybe a year, have 3 or 4 people using it,
and these are the bandwidth stats so far:

Total: 30.0000 GB
Used: 0.7662 GB
Left: 29.2338 GB

As you can see it's more than I need. I plan on leaving this world
debt-free and broke and having bandwidth left in my Usenet account
will screw up that plan. Email me if you'd like to receive
alt.binaries.food.

Well, Picassa albums work for me and contrary to popular belief, you do
NOT have to download the Picassa software! All you need is a gmail
address.

Follow the link in my sig and see what you think.:-)

Here's one of a few of the wonderful things about FB.

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE62G5A420100318

We've got a friend who's computer has been taken over and nobody can
figure it out but it seems to be another FB issue. There's another
one that wants you to update flashplayer but it's a bogus link. I
caught it but Louise didn't and now we're trying to clean up
computers.

Gotta just love facebook.

Well, I guess it does if you set the permissions to "Everyone" for the
photo. Your choice, of course.

BTW, checking out the comments: were those made by *the* Sheryl Rosen
who has been, um... 'the subject of much discussion' here over the
years?

I was actually being "facetious" (guess some folks missed that silly
pun) about putting up personal photos (etc.) on FB. I'm FB's number
one "non-fan" (or at least in the Top 10). I think the whole setup
sucks... Anyway, that's besides the point; I'm sorry you now have to
clean up the mess. Good luck.

There is a "public link" that you can post which doesn't give the
public permission to view anything other than that picture.

Yes, that's Sheryl Rosen. Looks like she has a good looking cat, wish
the picture was larger.

Well, whoopie-ding. So do sites like tinypic etc. (and you don't have
to 'register' to do that). Nevermind.

check it.

Ah, thanks - so now I can put a face to the name.

BTW, talking about Sheryl - has anybody heard from her 'arch enemy' Greg
Morrow? I kinda miss his (often warped) sense of humor and also hope
he's OK.

Your loss. TinyPic doesn't keep your link valid very long. Facebook
can be used to post pictures like Picasa, Photobucket, Flikr and all
those other online photo sharing sites. Nobody is twisting your arm
to join FB and only the clueless have a problem with viewing a FB
public link. Get over it or don't view FB links. It's your choice.
Either way, the rhetoric is ridiculous.
