I say keep the best shot in 30 days, and the theme. Makes it more interesting and something to strive for.

Try Photobucket.

While trying to find an answer for you I found my google photo album. It brought back memories which I had from my pictures on other sites and why I don't use the google photo elements...

Almost all the pictures I post are on www.flickr.com. Been using that since 2006. I have their pro account, but they offer a substantial free account.

My next favorite which I have actually used and still have is photobucket. Have been using their free account since 2006...

A picture of mine with a real url: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q...psmf8d08ip.jpg

with the added 'img' and '/img':



I resized the photo as a copy in photobucket.com to 800 pixels wide. You can to it in flickr also.

(You don't have to resize, I just do normally.)


There are others I have tried over the years, but the above have been the most trouble free...

Default Considering Discontinuing "Theme" Contest

I have been considering discontinuing this "Theme" contest and staying with just one "Show Us Your Best Shot" contest per month.

It's a few issues, time the primary one...

Comments are appreciated.

Poncho_NM I enjoy the months theme, it makes for some pondering how to fit a photograph into a theme, I can imagine this being time consuming and that you're a volunteer moderating this forum and understand your desire to eliminate it.

Yes, I am a volunteer in more places than just City-Data. After 5+ years there have been changes in the contests. Who knows what the future brings.

I appreciate your comments.
