if you like the 'community' thing that flickr has, it's
probably worth it.. otherwise, get your own domain, it will
be more flexible..

Who can possibly answer for you? Use that fucking multi K
philosophy degree and think "Dhhhuuur, do i want to..."
whatver ghastly rubbish it is you're considering.

I suppose people who use Flickr Pro might be able to
indicate their experience with the service

You're like a yawn and a really gutsy fart combined.

I don't know. So have you decided whether it's worth
spending 13 squid, or roughly 4 pints, on uploading pictures
of your garden and road signs at funny angles yet?

actually I havent! and there are no funny angled road sign
pictures! There are however loads of just crap photos, but
thats not the point really is it!

but i really enjoy taking pictures. Like with music i like
sharing them aswell! Plus when i finally elave the country
it will be nice to show people the pics im taking..... Lots
fo reasons to do it really I just can't bring myself to pay
for something! I'm to much of a cheap skate!

I bought a Flickr Pro account but I don't know why. All you
get is extra "Bandwidth". I don't even need that. The
tagging up of stuff is quite nice though but you get that
with the basic. This is why I keep running out of money. I
do things on impulse.

Go to zooomr instead.

Free Pro Account

I'm sure that'll do you fine. Also the geotagging is pretty
damn useful. Haven't tried it properly yet because I have a
flickr account that I've paid for stupidly.

Also, I have my own sodding website which I upload pictures
on. I just don't understand myself at times.

hehe. Its not as easy qithout teh flickr style pre shrinking
(i like that saves on space) but free pro account what more
do you want!

Bah! I just make my own photoblog and use the webspace
provided by my internet provider!

It's in my profile. Updating is not the same, because I have
to do html to about 3 or 4 pages each time I have a new
picture. Not using PHP or CSS or anything easier like that.
Old fashioned. Fun to do though, if you are serious.

But if you won, stick with that until it runs out. Maybe you
will have some more money by the time it's up.
