That’s not being stupid.

That’s called, in the modern parlance, “thinking outside the box.”

BT gives you some storage space for just that reason. 10MB I think it is. I seem to remember seeing 10MB being mentioned when I log in sometimes.

With BT you can have up to 5 different email addresses and each comes with it’s own 10MB storage space plus 15MB of free web space. You don’t have to build a web site in your free web space. You can dump pictures in there if you want.

Then if the URL of your web space is http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected] you can view your pictures by typing http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/001.jpg into your browser address field, where 001.jpg is the name of your picture.

Just try this:
The URL is http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected] and http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/nipper.gif

You can progress from that to writing your own simple web site that will show all your pics one after another at the click of a mouse.
