5. Thanks!

The pics were from when the vigil first started; a ton of people showed up thru-out the evening. And WOW were there ever a TON of car honks with thumbs-up and waves!

Only 2 morans; one a woman whose son is in the navy, said we should be ashamed. I told her 2 things; 1) if she hates American citizens having the FREEDOM to speak their own minds, she should consider moving to some place such as North Korea, where citizens are NOT allowed to speak their own minds, and 2) if she thinks it's "supporting the troops" and is happy to have her son die, all for bush's pile of bullshit, hey that's her right...but I am NOT happy to have my husband or any other American die for bush's steaming pile of bullshit. And that is MY right...and if she didn't like that, she should consider #1.

And the other was a youngish guy who said we should all find something more constructive to do with our time; I told him so should he, and hey I just happen to have US Military enlistment forms for him to fill out! No response.

3. There are free image hosting sites you can use

Many in the DU Photography group use http://photobucket.com/
I use http://xs.to/

The first has more bells and whistles, including the chance to make your gallery public, but it sometimes resizes photos unpredictably. The second is a much simpler site, but does not let you allow others to see your photos unless you provide explicit links to each image.

The advantage of both is that you can add or delete files whenever you choose, rather than asking someone else to do this for you.

4. Don't they have a cut off on bandwidth though?

6. No limit I know of , at least on those two, but thanks for hosting these

images for LynnTheDem. Some sites do have limits, and the one I use (xs.to) reserves the right to kill an account that uses "excessive" bandwidth, or porn, etc. Not sure if photobucket has similar language in its user agreement, but I've seen no case in which photos hosted at either have been un-viewable due to any such limitation. Xs.to has a file size limit of 1.5MB and 500 files, but I don't expect to hit that barrier any time soon.

(edit to add) This thread (well worth viewing) http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=543189&mesg_id=543189 is pretty good ebidence that bandwidth limits are not a problem with photobucket, at least.
