Posting Pictures on The Net? [Archive]

I would like to post the pictures from my wedding on the net so that I can share them. However, as usual, I have no clue how to do it.

I would like a place that it would show links to each category. For example "click here for wedding", click here for bike ride, etc...

It would also be great if you could put little captions below each picture.

I have never built a website (except where I once had pictures hosted for my sig, and they are still on top of each other), so building my own website is out.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks everyone

Maybe one of the others can recommend a free hosting service but I'm not familiar with them. One idea is your ISP... they probably gave you a couple megs of free web space when you signed up with them. If you're not sure I'd call them and ask about it.

The page(s) you need to build are very small and simple. Don't be intimidated. The way I would do it is have one lead page with the links, and a page for each seperate event. I would also maintain each page and its pictures in its own folder (just for ease of file management, especially with it being your first site).

Here are some examples:

First, make 2 folders in your webspace... one named "wedding" and one named "bike".

index.html - goes in the base of the webspace, not in one of the folders you made.

<pre> <html>
<body>
<h1>Our Pictures</h1>

<a href=wedding/wedding.html>Our wedding</a></p>

<a href=bike/ride.html>Bike ride</a></p></pre>

wedding.html - this file goes into the "wedding" folder, along with any pictures you link from this page.

<pre> <html>
<body>
<img>wedding-pic1.jpg</img>

Here's our first wedding picture.</p>
<img>wedding-pic2.jpg</img>

Here's our second wedding picture.</p></pre>

ride.html - this file goes into the "bike" folder, along with any pictures you link from this page.

<pre> <html>
<body>
<img>ride-pic1.jpg</img>

Here's our first bike ride picture.</p>
<img>ride-pic2.jpg</img>

Here's our second bike ride picture.</p></pre>

That's all there is to accomplish what you want to do. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">
