Recently Blogger has been having a lot of issues with the hosting of photos. This has left many bloggers frustrated and searching for other alternatives. When you use Blogger to host photos, a web album of those photos is created in Picasa Web Albums. Anyone getting an error code while uploading an image to Blogger can upload the images directly to a Picasa Web Album and simply use the URL to post the picture in Blogger. I’m not a fan of Picasa, therefore I think I’ll offer an alternative. Here is a list of websites offering free image hosting services.
AllYouCanUpload – AllYouCanUpload is a free image hosting and photo sharing service for users who want to host pictures.
ImageVenue offers free image hosting for your pictures.
Tinypic - Tinypic is a photo and video sharing service that allows you to easily upload, link and share your images and videos on MySpace, eBay, and Blogger.
ImageShack - ImageShack is one of the best known hosts for storing images.
IMGSpot- IMGSpot is a free image upload website for blogs, websites and personal galleries.

As usual, you’ve put together a great list that will be a good reference for others.
I’ve just started using flikr. So far, I’m satisfied with it and it’s saving me time and effort over what I was doing posting the images to my web host’s server.

Great list Rose. One of the reasons I abandoned Blogger for Wordpress was specifically due to image hosting issues. Hmmm, Blogger’s been improving a lot lately…

Great links Rose, I had trouble the other day uploading one of my videos, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t, so I did you tube and embedded it on my site thanks to your advice, now is there anyway I can keep one of my you tube videos on the side of my blog, so it doesn’t dissapear with the post

Hi,
This is an amazing list. I have used Tinypic.com, photobucket.com, rapidshare.com, imageshack.us and many more image hosting websites to upload both pics and videos on my website i.e makemoneykingdom.com. So with my experience i should be able to tell you that these websites are just Gr8. They work like a champ. This is my honest review.
Hope I contributed something that was worth sharing
