Does anyone know…

I’m looking for help.  I’ve started not liking the way my current photo sharing website works.  So I’m looking for a solution.  In particular, I don’t like how Flick r only allows you to have 200 photos in your account (unless you pay…).  I’ve found photobucket allows 1 gb of storage, so if you convert all your photos to about 150 kb (which I do) then you will get many thousands on their servers… But I’m worried that they will change this or limit you some how down the track.

So all I reallly want to be able to do is

- upload photos easily (preferably not via ftp)

- tag photos so you can search by tags

- have unlimited numbers of photos (I am ok with limited traffic and web space)

- be able to link one or many photos on my blog (ie a group of photos from the same holiday etc)

I would be happy with an interface that handles the web side of organisation if I provide the actual web space (I have about 10 gb to use).

Anyone got any suggestions??

UPDATE: i’m now using a nice word press plugin “Gallery2″.  Check out my photos under the pages link in the top right hand corner!

The Lakes district…

We set out from Oxford just after work on Wednesday. I went and got a rental car, came home and picked Kate up. Surprisingly, we managed to fill the boot of our Vauxhaul Vectra quite easily.
So we headed north… what an English person would call a long way north… about 400 km. we arrived in the lakes districk at about 10 pm… enough time to pitch the twnt, cook some pasta and head to bed. I was anxious to see where we were… it was dark when we arrived, so what’s it going ro look likw in the morning? This is supposed to be one of the most beautiful places in England…. more tomorrow, and maybe some pics!
