Well with the PC question the best idea is to make a folder called photos then within that put another fold with the month and then another inside with the day of the month so then all your photos are seperated into date month and if you want to even year.

As for the photo site well the best bet for you if your beggining is Fotopic because it's a free site which gives you your own site and quite abit of ability to personalize it.The only time you pay for it is when you run out of space on your site and need to buy some more memory.

Yeah you sound just like me when i was trying to upload pics to the net, you dont know where to start right.

Well what i done is set up a fotopic site like this http://jamie786.fotopic.net/ . To do this scroll to the very bottom and click on the last link, says something like "Gallery hosted by fotopic, want your own gallery. Click that and follow the steps.

Once set up, to upload photo's go to the left hand side box then:
Your gallery CLICK - username (highlighted BOlD)
- Web upload
- Browse (find the file from you My pics folder, click it and it will appear in the box)
- Fill the 9 remaining spaces in the same manor (you don't have to fill them all if you don't want to.

- Then just set your gallery settings eg title, into box, date.
- Then add details on the pics (the text under the pics) REMEMBER TO CLICK SAVE
- Then your first gallery is complete, it will take a few hours to appear on you website

Any probs drop me a PM on here.

Fotopic isn't for everyone, personally, I much prefer Flickr
