home now

[cellio]

I got home around 9:30 this morning, a mere (!) 22 hours after our first plane left Eilat. Oof. Good trip and I'll write some wrap-up stuff later (and about our last day), but in the meantime, some requests:

1. Please tell me about things you think I should know from the last two weeks.

2. What's your favorite photo-hosting site? I want to post some pictures to my LJ but point to bigger buckets of them (for those who care). I care about individual-photo URLs (for said posts), being able to add captions, and retaining ownership; if people can leave comments (per photo or per gallery) that's cool, but not essential.

Welcome home!

Flickr, Flickr, Flickr, Flickr, Flickr.

Easy to use. Great hosting. Lets you adjust the ownership of each photo - everything from "all rights reserved" (the default) to non-commercial open use with attribution to Creative Commons and everything in between.

Flickr also offers sets (for grouping), Tags (for tracking things across time), and some very interesting and creative public groups (so you could post photos of, say, your trip to Israel to a public group that is specifically for photos from Israel, and then view photos that other people have posted to the same group.

You can also order prints of your photos, and have them mailed to your home or pick them up at a local Target store. They also do calendars and things.

In addition, they have a "blog this" function that lets you post a photo to your LJ in a thumbnail format and write about it, without having to flip back and forth between multiple services.

And its a great interface. Should I go on? :-)

Sorry, one more thing then I'll stop:

Flickr Uploadr (http://flickr.com/tools/) lets you upload large batches of photos, tag them, then assign them to sets.
