which witch is which?

ok, i've finally gotten a digicam so i can take pictures.  and i can upload them to my comp pretty easily.  and then i discovered google's free photo-hosting service, and since i already have an email acct. with them, i thought they would be a perfect place to hold my images so i could post them to lj.

big bummer... i can't seem to post them to lj, *or* post a link to them to lj.  i'm not sure if that's because google's security won't let me, or because the new posting interface on lj is kinda sucky.

so... i went out, and i looked at photo-hosting services.  both photobucket and flicker have free accounts available.  i have two questions:

1) if it's the funky new posting interface, should i break down and DL semagic?
2) if it's not the funky new posting interface, do people prefer photobucket, or flickr, and why?

thanks, guys.

If you switch to html mode on LJ, there's a small icon in the corner beneath the title/default pic thing that is pics. Click on that and it should let you upload a pic. It also may be to olarge in size. If that's the case, there should be something in the menu options on your digicam that would allow you to resize it. Then Photo Editor on MS Office will also let you resize it, and then it's no longer a memory hog.

Just some ideas..

I like Semagic as a program, actually. It's kind of neat. And I don't ever lose posts to time-out problems.

I also have a Flickr account, and I like it. The free version lets you upload so much bandwidth a month.

Hugs!

I use a Flickr Pro account to store my stuff, which will be public again soon, and I like it.
