Re: Flickr, etc (was: GESO 2018 - 094-099 - GDG)
Flickr is much less effort to maintain than that, and has a community of users to interact with rather than just being your work on your website. I've done both; running your own website is a very different thing compared to participation in a service like Flickr. G > On Nov 5, 2018, at 7:11 PM, J.C.

why not just buy webspace thru godaddy or something similar and upload anything you want, and how you want. my godaddy account is only $99 a year. jco On Mon, 05 Nov 2018 20:18:33 -0500, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: Thank you both!
