Personal website?

yummymummy888888

I am pondering setting up a website for far away family members to view pictures of the kids etc as I have heard of other people having them. Trouble is after a google search is is all a bit mind boggling!!! so if anyone has any pesonal experiance of them i would love your help.

I basically want say, my mum, to go to this website, enter the password I have given her and view photos I have uploaded. Of course I want this to be free !!

I currently use facebook but want to wean myself of it!:rotfl:

If you have a Gmail account, consider GBridge.

+1 for Flickr.

Alternatively, I recently built my own website, I found a deal on the Grabbit now board where you could buy your own domain name and 12 months of hosting for £9 - not exactly free (:o) but you would have the benefit of setting up a web address which your mum would never forget (my apologise if I'm tarring your family with the same technophobe brush as mine!!...... ) for example https://www.yummymummy888888.com or something more appropriate.

You wouldn't even need to learn HTML if you didn't want to - you could just set up a photo gallery which is password protected, all my family photos are currently protected and only users I have approved can view them.

Flickr is probably best for what you need

If not.. there's a fee for unlimited uploads etc..

It's like $25 USD for a year.. so about £15 ish

This is easy enough to do, there are plenty of free scripts available all you need is a domain name and hosting.

A domain name ending with .co.uk would cost nothing more than a couple of pounds or less a year, hosting can be purchased for just a couple of quid a month and some hosts will give you a domain for free!

flicktr is good because you can set your family photoes etc to private
