Image Hosting

Image Shack. This site allows you to upload all your pictures. It is free, and has no limits on numbers of files. The utility of this to store a range of resources is clear, but the size of each file must be less than 1024 kbytes. I will start using it for storage of a number of illustrations. The first example is Batopora problematica.
