Photo albums often make great companions to blogs. For instance, you might be blogging about your latest trip to Hawai'i and have dozens or hundreds of photos to share with your friends. If you create a photo album and upload your pictures there, your readers will be able to click a link and browse all your photos in easy thumbnail or slideshow formats. They could even order prints for themselves, and you wouldn't even have to worry about keeping track of how many reprints to get of which picture. It's very convenient all around.
There are a number of sites that offer free photo album services. You can do a Googlesearch to find them, or you can start by checking out some of these links:
Blogger.com also lets you post photos directly to your blog.
Another fun thing to do with your photos is create a photoblog. This is like a blog, but rather than a series of text entries, it's a series of photos. You can upload them from your computer or even email them, which means that if you have a camera phone, you don't even have to be near a computer to send in photos. A free-roaming, mobile blog like this is often called a "moblog." With Blogger Mobile you can post cameraphone shots directly to your blogs. You can also use sites like Buzznet and Flickr for photo-blogging, which have ways to syndicate your images and display the latest ones as thumbnails on your website.
