HTML option so I can load up with text.
Slideshow, thumbnail, watermarking would be nice.
pbase has all but print sale options - that would be good. e-
commerce, not really. I use private (as an amateur) for family stuff.
Phot website - a front gallery/portfolio and a backside collection
seems nice.
er...pbase costs me $25 per year! (400mb). I useit because I can
enter html, key each page with a thumbnail and use it as a very
simple website - all I need in fact.
