Flickr
I finally joined the rest of the blogging universe and tried out Flickr. I just got tired of exporting my photos from iPhoto and then running search-and-replaces to fix the HTML.
Flickr lets you upload photos, label them, add descriptions, and show them to the rest of the world for free (there's a 20MB/month upload limit, but if you resize and optimize your photos beforehand that's not too bad). Best of all, Flickr, unlike Ofoto and other photo-sharing services, doesn't require a username and password from people trying to see your photos. It's also very blog friendly.
There's an "Organizr" feature, but so far it seems to be allergic to both of the browsers I use on the Mac (Firefox and Safari) -- probably because my OS is a little out of date. Or maybe it's a Mac issue. Here's my first Flickr "set" of photos, taken last Saturday at Sebago (we're doing some construction -- more on that when I get around to writing an entry about Sebago, my favorite Brooklyn canoe club. Yes, canoe club. Go to the website.).

I paid the $25/year for a 2GB a MONTH upload quota - please do this and just upload the "original" 2MB (or whatever) images. It is a whole lot easier - and Organizr is working for me fine Mozilla/Firefox on the Mac. Nice pics BTW - but I want to see them BIG (and those ones from the NYPL).
