I did note comments regarding the need to withhold submittal of new photos until the crash cleanup could be completed. I have dutifully deferred submitting any just to do my best to be helpful.

I must note that we have had photos in hand and ready to submit, because as soon as I told my "social manager" that we shouldn't, she busily searched all our available ones to find which ones we had that would be the best to not send.

I've been quite happy having an excuse, since for the prior half-dozen years I had to admit to sloth, laziness, and general incompetence (although I might have pled "humanitarian motive" due to ugliness); but now I can honestly say it's intended as a helpful gesture.

We do have a "festival site" for our camping group, but haven't set up a "personal page." After trying a couple of "free" and other "cheap" sites, we have been much more satisfied with our current one at SmugMug. It costs us $35 (US) per year, which we consider worthwhile after less satisfying experience with a couple of other nominally similar sites.

Most pages at SmugMug seem to be "open" (like ours) and can be browsed by anyone without a password, although access can be limited. You need a password, of course, to edit/add/remove photos.

On open pages, visitors can download your pictures, and/or can "order prints," so what we have up is "very public" and some might want to consider whether they want anyone who wanders by to have their mug (or whatever else shows) before posting at a similar site.

We have had recent threads devoted to identifying member MySpace and YouTube pages, but so far as I recall there have been only scattered entries in random threads showing photo page links. Perhaps a dedicated thread would at least shake out some who have personal photo pages who would be willing to link them, and bring the ones who've posted links all to one place? - or maybe there already is one?
