With regards to storing photos online, for quick view and easy access. Which website do you guys use? There are so many: photobucket, flickr, kodak etc. just wondering from experience who you have found does a good job.

I'm also on Zenfolio. They give a lot of easy options for working up the look of your album pages. But I am disappointed that you get no control over the size of the image displayed. This also applies to most other hosts. Older threads on this topic here -

Yes you do have control over the size of the image displayed.
Under Customize> page options> thumbnails

Nope. They always auto-size the image on the detail page to the browser setting (not talking about thumbnails). You cannot set the image size larger than the browser page, with scroll bars. You cannot even set the image size to full page. I've had pointed discussions with ZF personnel on this topic.

I am also a very happy Zenfolio user. You can chose your account level, allow visitors to order directly from you albums, and create different themes for each of your albums. In general, I like the look and ease of navigating with them.

I also use Zenfolio. I like it very much. There are a couple of minor things about the look that I would like to be able to customize but can't. Overall, however, they offer a very professional looking site customizable with a minimal learning curve on the user's part and at a very good price.

Im with Smugmug it is fast and easy to use. You can go to my site and see what a basic site looks like. There are three levels to choose from. At the Prolevel you can sell your photos and decide how much you want to make off of them and Smugmug does the printing for their fee. Powerusers can do things but not sell photos, you can also get your own damain name through them on GoDaddy. The basic is just that a basic site. Mine is a Power but I havent modified it much. They have a bunch of templates to work with.

I use SmugMug -- great customisation and I can use my own web address rather than theirs if I wish.
