Many people simply use these free image hosts as online photo albums.

Picasa : Google owned online host

Picassa is owned and run by google meaning it is an incredibly well run and supported site.
It has a great 1 gigabyte of free storage and unlimited storage which no-one else can match.

A two part deal!
Picassa is different in that it comes in two parts, one is the online portion called Picassa Web Albums and a free downloadable program, this program is an organiser and editor and you can upload from here.
While this program is very good it has that big company feel of trying to take control of everything, your picture viewing and organizing, personally it seemed a bit pushy.

Features
* Highly advanced editor
* Direct linking
* Easy uploading and picture management
* 1 GB free storage
* Unlimited bandwidth

    Good overview, exactly what people need to know. I'm glad Picasa now lets us use it as a real image host, not just a photo album.

    Lensrolled to my "How to Align Images in HTML" tutorial -- I cover the codes you need to put the image on a page, but I don't get into step one, which is image hosting!
