Like a lot of people surf this site at work. Shhhh don't tell the boss. ;)
The big problem I have is the company blocks photos uploaded to photobucket or tinypic and a few others i'm sure.
One thing I did notice that any pictures squirtthecat posted I can see and they are not blocked. So being curious I looked to where he was linking them to. Turn out they are linked to his google account. Makes perfect sence as most companys don't block google as they need a search engine on how to screw their employees ::)
So a few months back I opened a google account, its FREE and you can upload 1GIG of pictures. Thems alot of pictures. You can edit them using Picasa right where you upload them to. Your google account also gives you a really nice calendar for all those important dates we tend to forget.
So thanks squirtthecat for showing me the way ;)
Hope more people would take this option so we all can follow the pretty pictures you guys post.

I pay them about 25 bucks or so a year and have 81 gig of online storage...
Now THAT is a lot of pictures! (that also includes my Gmail account, online docs that I am sharing, etc.)
I had no idea! I'll have to look into that

You might want to check the fine print and see who owns those pics after you upload them. I haven't read it but I've heard things...
