    I use picdrive.com. They have a really dummy-proof interface I can also crop and rotate my photos after it is uploaded. I’ve used them for a few months so far and none of my photos are ever deleted.

    However, which one is the best?

  20. 2008 July 20

    IMO there is no single “best” free image hosting service. Every blog is different and each service differs. It’s up to the blogger to make choices and many have accounts at more than one image hosting service.

    hi timethief, i am using wordpress so which one would you recommend to me? I recently sign up with flickr but I’ve no idea how to link my picture to my blog.. thanx in advance.

  22. 2008 July 22

    I’m not recommending one site over another. I reviewed them all and it’s up to you to choose. I have no personal experience with flickr so I cannot help you with it. Here’s the FAQs entry form wordpress.com link http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/12/24/using-the-flickr-widget/ And, here’s the flickr help desk link http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/

  23. 2008 July 26

  24. 2008 August 10

    Hi,
    This is an amazing list. I have used Tinypic.com, photobucket.com, rapidshare.com, imageshack.us and many more image hosting websites to upload both pics and videos on my website i.e makemoneykingdom.com. So with my experience i should be able to tell you that these websites are just Gr8. They work like a champ. This is my honest review.
    Hope I contributed something that was worth sharing :-)
