    3. Just a few thoughts Tony:- A lot depends if you want Google to find them or if you just want to point a few relatives at the photos. Also if you want to make it easy for others to browse quickly and then click on some pictures to read more about what you know of the dates, places and people. Solutions range from:- . Using your own personal web space . Using a photo sharing system like Flickr or SmugMug . Using a free Blog Mechanism such as Wordpress (but there are many others) that allow you to post pictures, followed by a short bit of text. also blog.com or see review of 6 sites at <http://sixrevisions.com/tools/top-free-online-blogging/> I also mention another mechanism that can be quite effective for noting information relating to a photograph:- For every photo that you scan [with say a name P1234] Use MS Paint to create a second copy of the picture, P1234a (so it sorts next) But overwrite this copy with text indicating a Title, Dates, and even persons.
