For me it's just simply not simple to take pictures and post them ...
  • Prep tank glass
  • Prep camera
  • Find a good time to get photos without reflections on the glass
  • Take a number of photos (not such a big deal actually)
  • Start photo application on computer (slow as heck to load) and get pictures from camera to computer (and really slow to close)
  • Upload to Photobucket ... usually slow, sometimes they're screwing with how the site works and my browser has issues
  • Embed photos here (also not a big deal)

So it's really it's steps 5 and 6 that I dislike, though 1 and 3 sometimes deter me also.  :-\

Once the heat of summer is here and I'm not as busy I'll see about sharing on a little more regular basis.

Try Imageshack when you get a chance Ron. I use to use photobucket but got tired of the issues with it myself, then changed to Imageshack (also free) and it is worlds better and faster than photobucket.

Or just load them directly to the site.

Will do. I used Imageshack many, many years ago, but at some point they were limiting pictures to tiny sizes and I jumped ship to Photobucket at that time.

I think if you register for free the size limit is lifted. I usually upload mine at about 15" x 12" and it takes those no prob.

I switched to imgur.com from imageshack a few years back and like it much better.  Worth a shot.
