This is a guide to several free ways to share your pictures online.

(1.) EMAIL

Short for electronic mail, this has become the standard method of communication on the Internet. Just a few web-based email providers include Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL.

(2.) ONLINE ALBUM

Almost all photo printing sites let users share the pictures they uploaded as albums. An email is sent by the user to family and friends who would want to see the pictures; they click on a link in the email and are sent to the online album. Some of the big photo printing and album-sharing sites include the Kodak EasyShare Gallery, Snapfish, and Shutterfly. Stores like Walgreens, CVS, and Ritz Camera have their own photo sharing and printing sites too.

(3.) BLOG

This is like an online journal where you have your own web address. And friends and relatives can check in on it at their leisure. There are lots of web sites where free blogs can be made. Such as; blogger.com, typepad.com, wordpress.com, blog.com, and 360.yahoo.com are just a few of the big ones. Usually, the sites have templates that make building and writing a blog as simple as writing an email.
