No pictures

Well, I had planned to get on and post a bunch of pictures I took today, come to find out I can't. Photobucket, while free, is being lame. If too many people view the pictures on my site(s) (right now it says I've had 139960 hits this month, which I'm assuming is counting each time each picture is viewed because I have NOT had that many single hits ever) then they shut me down until my month resets, which should be the 8th, if I'm reading it all right. So I can either pay, which I'm too cheap to do, or wait it out. And wait it out I will. You can still see the pictures (though I'm not posting new ones until the 8th) by clicking on their annoying attempt to get me to spend money little logo.

Natalie: PHotobucket does that to me too... don't tell them I said this, but you can open another account using a different email address. Right now I soak up two full accounts each month, and I just used our last email address to open one new account. I justify it because I am doing all of the blogging for four people, so until I use up four accounts, I won't feel like I need to pay! Is that dishonest? I have to kind of toggle my uploading between the three accounts to make it so that I don't have to have that annoying message pop up on my site. I agree with you, it's absolutely annoying of them.

i think you should have one for business and one for personal. any more accounts beyond that is dishonest, in my opinion. they are providing an amazing free basic service to EVERYONE who uses it. its only fair that people who use more than "basic" should pay. so- open a new account for "natalie baldwin photography"!!!

I thought about opening another account for my photography (and will be doing that), but unfortunately it's too late (until the 8th) for all I've up loaded already, unless I re-upload them all. I'm too lazy for that.
