Reader SurveyWhat would y'all be more interested in: a few carefully chosen photos posted on this site, or a Flickr page with a lot more photos of many things? Or some combo of both?
I ask because I have a bunch of pictures I've been wanting to post (of the Art Car Parade, necklaces I made, and other stuff) but they're kind of pain in the butt to size up for this blog. I'm thinking if I had a Flickr page, I could upload them all real fast and Flickr would size them for me. But would y'all go to the Flickr page, or would it be one of many Flickr pages that no one ever sees? Do y'all even want to see pictures, or am I fretting over nothing? 9:40 AM #

Combo please. Sometimes I really do not have the time at hand and would like to see some pics of what you are talking about, but at my leisure or breaks come back and let Flicker load.yahooooo pictures!

I think a combo is good. Give a little teaser on your blog and then a link to the rest. But if you want to choose one, I would choose the flickr page - probably easier for you.

Flickr page, because I want it to be as easy as possible for you to share your cuteness, hotness, and coolness with us! (This is Jackie D using my bf's Blogger account to comment...)

A combo is a lot easier with a flickr page, because then you don't have to size them, you can just load them on to Flickr and link one or two here. Not that I do that, even though I have a blog and a flickr account, but I've thought of it.
If not a combo, I'd say a Flickr page.

Flickr is really good. This guy I read (http://sangroncito.blogspot.com/) uses it and it's always cool to view his photos as a slide show.

combo! It's my vote! If you feel like it! I mean you give me giggles for nothing all of the time, so if you are like F-that I feel like fliker, it's your site, do what you want!
I'm in the Yukon! I love you Gwen!

You can totally do that thing where you put them on Flickr and hotlink them into your blog.
So, I suggest Flickr.

Thanks, all of you.
I made a Flickr thing, but I don't know how well it's working. It won't let me organize them very well unless I pay money. How many of y'all pay money for it?
Here's the so far:

Personally, I really like being able to see a lot of photos in a fast slideshow. I think a combo is a good idea - put a few in the blog and the rest people can go find if they want. I *did* pony up the money for the "pro" account, only because it wasn't very expensive and I have my grandiose moments. ($24? Something like that? For a year?)

I paid for the Pro accoutn, but like Velma said, it was only like $20 or so, which is even cheaper for me because I'm in the UK. Like £11! That's nothing!
I use the "post to blog" feature all the time on my blog now - if you set it up to your blogger account, you can post photos direct and it does all the resizing for you. Awesome.

Okay, I did it. Pro Account.
Now I feel sad, because I don't have that many photos. But go look at them, if you want.
I have to go take some pictures now.

I look at people's Flickr pics all the time. It's what I do instead of succeeding in my own life.

Funny. You made me laugh.
Thanks to everyone sharing photos with me. I didn't realize there were so many Flickr-ers out there!
