Actually, if you had merely looked at his email address you would've seen it. That's where I saw it.

I did reserve a website "name" when I switched over to charter.net from @Home. Do you know what I need to do to post pictures on it? That would be the best scenario for me.

Normally you just need an FTP Client to upload files to your web space on the ISP. You can either make folders just like you do on disk or even just put them all in your root directory. The URL will then be a folder off of Charter.net. For instance, if you had a picture called "ar15.jpg," the the URL would be something like:
http://www.charter.net/~corey.s/ar15.jpg
http://www.charter.net/users/corey.s/ar15.jpg
http://users.charter.net/corey.s/ar15.jpg
etc. Something like that. Each ISP does things a little differently. Then all you have to do is put the little "img" tags around it and the picture will show up here.
If you need an FTP Client, WS-FTP is good. You can download version 7.04 Pro from [url=http://www.sling.to/fosi/]Fosi's[/url] if you need it. (Be sure to check out all the other kewl software available there.)
The reason I posted to this thread/miniflamefest [:D] in the first place is I see a lot of messages from members asking about picture hosting. Everyone complains when a service like Photopoint makes restrictions, charges money, or even just stops all together. But these same people don't realize that they're already paying for web space with their ISP that has no restrictions, but they don't think to look there first.
So all you have to do is install WS-FTP, then poke around the charter.net support pages and you'll probably find all the info you need to configure the FTP Client with server name, user, and password. After that, posting files isn't any harder than clicking and dragging icons around with Windows Explorer.
Hey, you've already paid for the web space - might as well use it!!
