Photo Storage

I was just wondering what you do when you have reached your storage capacity for photos on your blog. I am with blogger and I know that you can purchase storage, but I don't know if I want to spend money on that. I was just wondering what other's have done.

Photobucket has been really easy for me to use. My only trouble is that I can't access it from my husband's computer due to his firewalls that block any hint of porn. Some people aparently post nasty pictures through photobucket, but if you stay on your page only (like I do) then you won't see any questionable stuff. Hope this helps.; ▶ Reply to This

I would try opening a Picasa account. It is opened by Google too.

As for the space on your blog...how long have you been blogging? My guess is that you are uploading HUGE images, which is taking up space. I would suggest going through and deleting some or resizing them. I have been blogging for 3 years and EVERY post has at least one picture (over 1500 posts) and I am only at 7%.; ▶ Reply to This

Another option is to open another blogger blog and use it to host your pictures. Blogger doesn't have bandwidth restrictions, so that is a better option than Photobucket.; ▶ Reply to This
