Cute.

I don't know how to post jpgs on webpages, or I'd send r.m.f a link to
the PowerPoint new year's card I did back in 2007 which showed a cherub
holding a full Earth and a champagne glass.

The caption said, "The world is yours. Try not to be too rough on it."

I signed up for a free flickr account some time back. I expect the
simplest sort of limited account may still be free. With that, you can
put your photos online and then link to them.

Other photo places seem to do the same. Maybe it's just me, but photos
on the places I've seen always seem to be too small to appreciate
properly. I tend to leave mine large, now that I have a paid account
with no discernible limit. With the limited account, the photos can
still be as big as you like; you just can't post as many.

If you wish, email me the file and I'll host it here and tell people
where to find it.

What software do you use to put your photos online?

Ideally there's a small thumbnail you click to enlarge it.

Flickr's uploader will handle that. They also have one you can download
and use for faster uploading.

Oftentimes, I click on this thumbnail and get something marginally
larger but still useless.

I cheat and put them up on my website. :) Usually with photos I do a
reduced size that'll fit on the screen linked to full size if you click
on it. Blessings on Hare Link - they give excellent service and the
only surprise I've gotten was when they increased basic server space
allowance from 5G to 10G. So I've got *plenty* of room: I think I'm
currently using about 10M.
