Title: ISO: Website for family to post and DL wedding pix
Post by: twatts (pants are so over-rated...) on June 17, 2008, 02:46:34 PM

Snapfish???  Flickr???

Heather and I are looking for an easy to use, grandparent friendly, free Photo Website where we can give out the account info to all of our friends and family and have them UL their photos. 

Anybody have any experience doing this???  What would you recommend???  Any particular Website better than others??? 

Thanks,

Terry and Heather Watts

congrats!  whatever you do don't use york photo.  we did b/c my sister suggested it.  it was very easy to make a pubic group album for everyone to upload to.  however for no reason ALL the pictures are now gone   >:(   every damn one of them.  I just logged in to check.

Flickr everyone can see, unless you make the photos private.  What I would suggest is they all create their own acct, upload pictures and you create a group "Terry's Wedding" or what have you so everyone can send pictures to it.

Photobucket you can restrict with a password, but I am not sure if they can DL the full res if you upload the picture though

Those are about the only two I have dealt with.  I love Flickr, and if you don't mind the pictures being public I think it'd be the most grandparent friendly and everyone else.
