I use Flickr to share pictures with my family. No complaints after a year of use.

can you set up seperate slideshows for different groups of photos?
I just tried to do that this afternoon and it clumped all my photos together.
I won't be able to try again until tomorrow morning but any tips would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Don

also there is a "flicker" field in your profile where you can put the link to your photos on flicker so other members can check them out if the brows through your profile on this site.

I have a Flickr account, but find myself using a clone named Zoomr more, as it has unlimited space, unlimited uploads, and no set restrictions all for no cost. Also you can price your photos there, and restrict the large size views to only authorized users (stops thefts of good size photos).

I'm going to check Zoomr out. I have a flickr account that I use to share photos with family, but would love something else specifically for my more "portrait" quality shots.
