There are so many advantages with Smugmug, I think, over other services, below a few off the top of my head but first go to one to test.http://donredding.smugmug.com/Ancestors-Family-Relatives-and/Don/201105-05-10/16991425_JD7pZv#!i=1289918499&k=DmX55Dj
play with it some and try some of the tools/tabs at the top of the page to see different sizes and different arrangements. (NO video yet)Watch the video (both are same , I did in two different ways, click the arrow on a picture for video, duh you know that) and then read my notes below:
- one of best things is you can try free for a while for two weeks, no credit card required
- no ads for one,
- can send pictures there by computer and cellphones
- takes videos up to 20 minutes (have to send from a computer, heck, this is my biggest complaint as I wanted to send from our cell phone but will not work; I have been working on them about this)
- they create many different sizes of pictures to view, in many different ways,
- can make public or private
- lets one "collect pictures" from some one else, ie I can have a gallery and also put on Linda's Smugmug in a fraction of the time to upload by "collecting"
- Excellent customer service, fun people to deal with.
- no limits on how many pictures put there or how big(well there is a gigantic limit on picture size but they never been a bother for most pictures we use)
- Can create books or order pictures off Smugmug, as I think you saw from the one of my daughters wedding.
- It is a great filing system, fior example I have some VIP papers
on Smugmug with a password or set to not even show except when I am
signed in
- The organization is a category on top, the subcategory under it, the Galleries with the pictures in the galleries.
- Now that I have written this far I remember I have a blog on the same subject if you want to see.
- to try free for 14 days go to Click here https://secure.smugmug.com/signup.mg

It is a great toy (and joy) and I think you would like it.

Here is a link to a Smugmug lover, bound to be a smart guy because of his first name:
