Flickr is a wonderful community dedicated to sharing photos and communicating with others. Both amateurs and professionals use it. The advantages are many. Using Flickr creates visibility for your creative efforts as well as your products and services. Tagging your photos with appropriate names and adding your site url can be good for search visibility as well.
It's free but also has the a Professional Account status for a small amount which allows for larger uploads and the ability to add more Photo Sets.
The example above is a set I started recently to display some Mexico travel photos I have been taking. In your case it could of be a series photos of your products or your web site. Get busy and take some photos or screenshots and let's see what you can show us!
The Code
1. If you dont already have one create a Flickr account on the Flickr site. http://www.flickr.com/
2. Upload your photos to Flickr. Bonus - In the description put your web site address for greater visibility.
