This is what I have on my forum..... Matt or Mick might have a better suggestion for you since you are across the pond we call the Atlantic.
Micks works real good ... you might want to PM him ( Private Message ) for the Australian ( down Under) :lol: connection.

You have to get the pics uploaded on the web somewhere.

try photobucket.com or snapfish.com or smugmug.com . All are free. You sign up for an account (free), upload your pictures, and then link to them.

I can help you post them, if needed, once you have them on the web somewhere.

Another one is "Image shack".
I like the way it can be set to resize pics as it loads them so they are not too big in forum posts. The other hosting sites probably have something similar but I am not familiar with them.

G'day Cridgie,

A question first mate.

Are you on dialup or broadband?

Either way, It is much quicker and easier to crop,edit and re-size your images BEFOFRE you try to upload them to an image hosting site. There are lots of free programs available to help you do this.. This one works very well for me.

Fast, safe and you can re-size your whole album in one go. 8)

Image hosting sites, Millions of them mate. I like Photobucket the best. You can create as many albums and albums within albums as you like for all your different adventures or trips or interests and for mine, photobucket is the easiest to use.

I recently joined an Oz photographic forum in an attemt to improve my photographic skills and on their recommendation, also joined imageshack but I don't think it is nearly as convenient as photobucket.

Mate, I am the original IT idiot and even I can do this. If you join Photobucket, I will walk you through the processs if you like. :D
