Need to start posting my finished models. What is the easiest site to use for FSM?
I can stumble my way through most any software . Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
The question is akin to "What is the best airbrush?" or "Who makes the best paint?" and so on. There will be a range of answers, all of them subjective to the respondent.
Having said that, I went to Postimage, after the Photobucket debacle. It's a free site, though they do offer paid subscriptions, for more storage and better features. Postimage covers my need to have a hosting site and get links to use elsewhere in the web. There are a couple of downsides that I've found, but they're not severe enough to make me go to a different host.
One, and this is the more serious of the two, is that at least twice in the past, the owners of the site allowed their domain registration lapse. Each time, someone jumped in and grabbed it, holding it for ransom. Each time, the owners chose to get a new domain. That caused an inconvenience, shall we say, with established links we Postimage customers had used aroung the web. The links needed to be updated to use the new domain, or replaced altogether. That can be disconcerting to a customer.
The other issue is that organizing folders at Postimage is pretty basic. In any given folder, or "gallery", you can choose to sort by filename or upload date/time. If you organize your images at all, that's something to take into account. You can't drag and drop images within a gallery, that I have yet found. But in the big scheme of things, it's not a big deal.
