G'day.
I started looking at galleries after following links posted by you  
people. I loaded up Singapore and quite quickly rejected it as being  
unwieldy. Then, after that experience, and being lazy, rejected DIY  
galleries and looked at smugmug. (I should say that I have been using  
Flickr, which I don't mind so much but I always leave feeling that I  
need to achieve something, somehow: a comment, an invite, etc.)
I'm trying smugmug now and so far I quite like it. Mainly because the  
default is to present images on black, something that Flickr doesn't  
seem to allow, and images look so much better on black. Secondly I  
like it because viewers have the opportunity to buy your images. What  
a revelation that was. The thought that someone might like a picture  
so much that they can buy a print. I think that's great.
The upload tools are not as slick as Flickr's, but some effort  
required doesn't bother me. Also I quite liked the search facility and  
the ease of adding keywords to images. I guess the slowing down helps  
- an less featured upload tool helps you to consider what you're  
posting.
I should search for myself, but here is this resource, you. I wonder  
what other galleries do you use and why?
Best,
Nic
