How do I add My Pictures?

This web site does not store pictures , but there are several free online services where you can upload your pictures. Flickr and Picasa are two of the most popular. For video you can use YouTube.

Once your pictures are stored online, you can share them here by adding your photo or video album's "RSS" feed to our list. You will find a link for your "RSS" feed on your online site often with this icon . Then each time you add a new picture to your online album, a link to it will show up here.

Instructions for Picasa users:

To share a single photo:
