How to Create Your Own Photo Website

Overview

Sony first sold a prototype digital camera in 1981, according to Bob Brooke's history of digital photography. This first camera marked the beginning of the digital photography revolution. Creating a photo website is a quick way to share your digital pictures with family and friends. While the number of choices for creating your own photo website may seem daunting, the process itself is quite easy. Store your digital images in style by creating a photo website.

How to Create Your Own Photo Website

Step 1

Choose a photo website platform, such as Photobucket (photobucket.com), Picasa (picasa.google.com), Shutterfly (shutterfly.com) or Flickr (flickr.com).
Step 2

Sign up at the site you choose. Use your Yahoo! login at Flickr or your Google login at Picasa. Photobucket and Shutterfly logins aren't shared with other types of online software.
Step 3

Using the upload tool on the site of your choice, add your images to your website.
Step 4

Select the photos' level of access. Public photos are visible to everyone. Semi-private photos are visible to those you invite or with whom you are connected on the site, and private photos are only visible when you are logged into the site.
Step 5

Show off the website you created yourself by sending it to your family and friends.
