I can't imagine this people creating a HTML page.

Yahoo Briefcase can perform this function without any knowledge of HTML or
web page building at all.  You upload the image file to briefcase and then
you can copy the URL as Todd mentioned.  Access rights can be set on a
folder by folder basis.  They even encourage you to use it as a photo album
by giving out the URLs.  Space allocation is 10MB.  Actually you can do the
exact same thing with Geocities (upload file, give out URL) but overall
account and file management is a little more complex and better suited for
web pages.  The point is that for what Todd is proposing you just need a
valid URL -- not an HTML web page.

I suggest that Todd provide info of this sort including a (growing?) list of
possible free service providers on the LUGNET site and the problem is
solved.

(...) OK, maybe I'm a bit outdated :-) Unfortunately your solution is not a good way of centralizing information. Was that the original idea, wasn't it? If web sites is what (almost) everybody has today, then there's no need for changes. Laurentino (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
