Looking for a New Website to Upload my Photos to Share

Because we live far from our family and many of our friends, we like to share out lives with them through pictures.  Up until recently, we've used the Sony Imagestation website.  I like the quality of the pictures, the ease with which I can make and share "albums" and most importantly, the editing capabilities.  I have no photo editing software on my computer so I need that in a photo website. 

I just found out that Imagestation is closing so I have to find a new home for my images.  So what do you suggest?  Snapfish, Kodak Gallery, Photobucket or any of the dozens of other photo sharing websites out there.  Who do you use and why?  Thanks all of you shutter bugs.

 (Edited to add)  I also send hard cover photo books to the grandparents about every 3 months so I need the capability to create those and ship them.

http://www.webshots.com/ is free also

another couple options:

Flixya.com also gives you payment. They don't offer photo editing, you might look into Picasa by Google for that, it's free software but I haven't really checked it out yet..

No suggestions, but let us know what you decide and how you like it. :)

Snapfish works fine for me. You have to make a purchase at least once a year.

My son hosts all of my photos on his server.......I am SO lucky!!!

Picasa2 is great, Shutterpoint (you can also sell there, you do need to pay a small fee), Photobucket is good too.
Janna O'Donnell Oct 6, 2007, 6:19am EDT
I'll check it out, Taylor. Thanks for the recommendation.
Janna O'Donnell Oct 6, 2007, 6:19am EDT
Thank you, Bonnie.
Janna O'Donnell Oct 6, 2007, 6:20am EDT
Good idea, Matt. However I've got Vista and it doesn't work with Vista, darn it.
Janna O'Donnell Oct 6, 2007, 6:21am EDT
Thanks, Debbie. Will do.
Janna O'Donnell Oct 6, 2007, 6:22am EDT
Thanks, Spartan. Maybe they'll make a version that will work with Vista soon.
Janna O'Donnell Oct 6, 2007, 6:23am EDT
Several friends have recommended Snapfish. I'll check it out.
Janna O'Donnell Oct 6, 2007, 6:24am EDT
Good for you, Melinda.
Janna O'Donnell Oct 6, 2007, 6:25am EDT
I'll check them out, Trudy.

www.photoworkshop.com A great place to not only share but expand in your techniques with like minded amateurs and professionals alike...from all over the world. It does cost a bit per year (under $100) but very worth it in my opinion. I have a coupon you could use for a new member discount as I am a member.....check it out and let me know. They do have a free level...the paid membership gives you more options. Choose what you need/want/can afford
Janna O'Donnell Oct 7, 2007, 6:40am EDT
I'll check it out, Thanks!

Some of these share sites I've not heard of before - thanks for all the info everyone. Does anyone have someone who does a great job of printing on canvas?

I use Picasa 2 also, it is free and if I can do it, anybody can
