I make photo calendars there for gifts every year and they turn out nice for only $9.99 each. I have done a few enlargements -- I usually pick up at my store to save on shipping costs. I like the quality.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089436897142956734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-65353926408767878312009-02-28T10:40:00.000-06:002009-02-28T10:40:00.000-06:00Maybe you could delete some posts from the beginni...Maybe you could delete some posts from the beginning of your blog...some of the personal ones...and you would save some space, too.Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769348919608645446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-14376639346604338482009-02-26T11:17:00.000-06:002009-02-26T11:17:00.000-06:00I checked the beautiful picture on this post and i...I checked the beautiful picture on this post and it is on your blog. If it was on Flickr, your would have its place available for something else. <BR/>One way to clean some storage place is to go back through your old posts and replace the images on your blog with the ones you uploaded on Flickr. <BR/><BR/>It will be time consuming but it will be great for your blog life expectancy.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-49241623362649346592009-02-26T01:10:00.000-06:002009-02-26T01:10:00.000-06:00Costco does great with large prints.

I have some great 5x7 and 8x10s from Europe. If you dont' have a photo printer, perhaps a friend or neighbor does? This is the least expensive way to do it. <BR/><BR/>As for the life of a blog, I don't think it has a life expectancy. I think you can blog until the day you die. But a thought is to have your own webiste. I have a blogging friend who did this which allows her more storage space adn more creative control. Not sure on the specifics of what she did but she's very happy with it.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807780461583042738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-34830110109026350442009-02-24T07:26:00.000-06:002009-02-24T07:26:00.000-06:00Try http://www.MyOtherDrive.com for online photo s...Try http://www.MyOtherDrive.com for online photo storage and online backup.

I either send stuff to Target one-hour (when it's just stuff for me, it's fast, cheap and always true to color) but for my professional (portrait) photography I send stuff to Costco. I know a lot of professional photographers do as well. Also, there is a service out there that will take your blog and put it into a book for you, if you so choose. I too am starting to rack up the space on my google account. I need to be better about linking to the pictures on my Flickr, but it's such a pain in the butt when you have more than one picture to link to. You can also buy more space from Google, for a yearly fee.Christina Lane | The Sometimes Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855629064932597399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-48722630064554276072009-02-23T22:41:00.000-06:002009-02-23T22:41:00.000-06:00Please don't stop blogging.
