PHOTO STORAGE SITES!! What's the BEST (to me!) - SmugMug!!!!

We live in Costa Rica - a country FULL of GORGEOUS sites and LOTS of memories!!  Plus do you REALLY want to be schlepping all your physical pics around with the moving/traveling - or just living?? 

I personally won't go look at peoples free sites as they're a pain in the @$$ - NOT user friendly!!

Where I've stored my 61,000+ pictures (TOTAL amateur - memories) over the past 6 or so years - what I've found to be the BEST for me being a Technophobe like I am - is

SmugMug.com

(MY site/pics are at SarongGoddess.com)

What I LOVE the most about SmugMug is the EASE with using it!!  Uploading pics is MEGA EASY and I create different Folders for different purposes - heck, some I even make like a website as you can put as MUCH text in the part at the top as you'd like AND, you can add as MUCH Text you want to each picture AND you get to put Keywords in so they come up sometimes in google searches if you do that!!! 
EXAMPLE of one with LOTS of text and things -

SarongGoddess.com/Travel/VeniceOspreySarasotaCaseyKeyFL

And there's some sort of connection to Facebook (I haven't looked into that yet)

CAN USE YOUR OWN CUSTOM DOMAIN

You can also purchase your own Custom Domain name and direct it to your SmugMug site (hence my SarongGoddess.com) so you don't have to have all the .xxxxxxxx after it).

UNLIMITED PHOTOS and VIDEOS!!

Yup - that's true!!  (like I said above, I have 61,000 pics and videos stored there so far!!)

EASY EDITING!!!!!!!!!!

(even for Technophobes like ME!)

It's also REALLY easy to move them around and put them in the order you want, rotate them, delete them, etc. but what I LOVE THE MOST is their EDIT Feature as I can do all sorts of things to make my pictures look better - add text, crop, add color, even lighten wrinkles and LOST MORE!!!

ADAPTABLE TO CELLS • TABLETS • ETC.

GIVE YOUR FRIENDS YOUR LINK SO IT'S EASY FOR THEM TO SEE THE PICTURES YOU WANT THEM TO SEE

And then I can give the "address" to my friends I want to see it (or make it private if I don't want people to see those).

PROFESSIONAL PLAN ALLOWS YOU TO WATERMARK AND SELL YOUR PICTURES

The Business Plans (Portfolio and Business) ones are great for professional photographers as you can even put your own WaterMark on it so no one can copy it (without showing where it's from) and you can sell your pictures as well!!!
