If you have webspace from your ISP, you can make a simple html page
with the pics one after another. You can even lower your standards
that low you can use Word to do them, and just save as html.

If you have hosting with something like Fantastico (an install script)
you can use some funky gallery apps like coppermine that do all the
hard work, leaving you to simply tailor the site to how you want it to
display right from within the web page itself.

Depending on what you want the 'best' maybe to create your won web pages
with the images, enabling you to ad explanations etc.

The easiet/cheapest/quickest is to use a free photo website to put them
up. Usually just quick sign up process and then you can upload some
photos.

I use Flickr, for various reasons including it's 'community ' aspects.
Photobucket is another place.

As already suggested, your own ISP should offer a limited personal webspace
facility for non-commercial use.

If not, a good 'Free'[1] hosting provider I use for a commercial website is
Freeola.com in the UK. They give you unlimited (not really sure how
'unlimited' that really is, but I'm at 40mb and counting!) webspace, but
nothing fancy like CGI scripts or SQL, unless you want to pay for them.

[1] Free to host but you must use a national rate (0845) number to upload to
their server. For your kind of use, that would cost peanuts. (No offence
meant! ;-) )

the free photo sites are the easiest but if you want to make a
nice little web site of it that will attract Google visitors to
certain keywords, maybe "bad DIY" or "DIY Hell" (but who Googles
them?) then you need to find an ISP that will give you some
webspace (common enough) if you want it to be nicer still you
want your own domain name www.diyfromhell.co.uk which will cost
£40 or something every three years or so (I forget). Look at
someone like "freedom names" where you can search for available
domains and see costs. Then you need to understand a little about
HTML (easy unless computer phobic) and download something like
CuteFTP to upload to your site. Its not hard and can be fun, you
can add your holiday photos so victims can be shown them wherever
there is a internet connection :-) My websites below are all HTML
with no programming and if you look you will see they function OK
for non business purposes. You could even get Amazon commission
by selling DIY books online!

uk2.net (www.uk2.net) is a lot cheaper than £40.00 per year for a
..co.uk domain name, and has many nice feature (including free email and
email forwarding and a web interface so you can change this easily)

Yes, but they're evil incarnate - avoid at all costs.

While getting your own web hosting and domain name as suggested by
others is a nice way of going about things, there will be quite a lot to
learn. I would recommend either getting a Flickr or similar account, or
starting a blog somewhere (e.g. http://www.blogger.com/).

Why ? I've never had a problem.

I'm not going to go into it here, you can search groups for hundreds of
posts about them.

I've had quite a few very unpleasant experiences with them on behalf of
clients.

Usually less than £10 for a co.uk It would only be the £80 for two years
if you were to register direct with nominet.

Thanks for the replies.
I think it will be Photobucket or Flikr then
Don't want the web site option really. My son has a First in Multimedia
and Web Design, so he could knock one up in 30mins. Problem is I can
never find him and he makes them toooooooooooooooooo complicated and I
would have to keep getting him back etc etc etc.

Be patient with me! some of the pics are worth it. As a taster how about
'improve your earthing with a clothes peg [photo]' or 'Joint 3 cables
with a nut and bolt [photo]' 'Lightning only strikes once [photo]' and
many more

Bl**dy hell, no! I use Easily.co.uk and it costs me £9.99 inc VAT for 2
years. Excellent account management tools too.

only from webmail.

Is that the US site? If so, yep, I'm fascinated by it! Mind you, 99%
of the time I have NO idea what they are talking about!!
Have you seen the spin off page titled something like 'Rate my Work'?
They all appear to be very much 'up themselves' g From what I have
seen, compared with UK work, it ALL looks wrong!
I'd like to have a read of a copy of their 'regs'
