I generally use Flickr but have also used Dropbox and ImageShack in the past.
As for image hosting, no rules yet, but if in doubt, use http://tinypic.com/

No, no! Not another new technology to learn! My brain hurts!
I've seen how Bob & Ian's posts look and would agree that they make a clean and neat arrangement in the post. I am not anti tech by even the broadest definition, but sometimes I get annoyed by the constant suggestions by developers that my life would be
I am still running an old PC with Windows XP, my cell phone is about 8 yrs. old and is a flip phone. I don't use any of the social media services. I get messages on my phone and when I look the screen says, "Unknown Format". I forward it to my email to read them. For me it is a ratio of annoyance/benefit and if the ratio is off in the wrong direction, I wait. I've learned that the pursuit of the latest and greatest always chewed up more of my time than it seemed to save.
It would be unreasonable for me to demand that others adjust to my stubborn ways. I'll learn this new way because now it is better to do it than to ignore it. The upside is by the time I get around to embracing a new method, most of the bugs have been worked out.
I'll survive.

My son up graded my PC last year, building me a new one for my B-day. It is quicker. I like it. I don't care to carry around these new gadgets, be chased like wearing a leash or leech or...I don't wear a watch. My cell phone has no texting, no camera, nothing but a phone and big numbers to read (they called it the geriatric model
).
Now, I'm learning how to run a blog, but that's okay. I embrace that, BUT having lack of relationship with tech for so long (a short time for me), It is a struggle. My geek son insults my ignorance and looses patience with me. I know when I walk naked of these and most all else in my natural environment, in the contrast, I know my true humanity and my true nature in this world and I'm then assured.
I like books, I like research and observation. Internet has opened a whole new way of communicating these things, self publishing with pictures in new ways, and instant postal service across the planet, quick information, are wonderful additions to books, papers and letters. Word processing is incredible. There is value. Now, if the colleges would just open up their hoards of peer reviewed secrets to the net, we would all be moving on in a much better fashion. Instead, short bytes and no depth are taking over the process of thought and opinion.
