Share your photos online
Whether you’re the queen of a Nikon SLRs or the king of Canon DSLRs, one thing is certain: you’re going to want to show off your favorite photos! Many people use various online storage methods as a solution for storing and showcasing photos, but in the interest of saving time — and money — you should consider using a service that is just for the storage and sharing of photos. 
My personal favorite is Flickr, but another great alternative is Zoomr (though on further exploration it looks as though the company behind Zoomr revamped it as a text/picture message social networking utility, so it may not be your best bet — try Picasa instead!). Both allow you to store as many photos as you want on their servers (though Flickr requires you to have a PRO account if you’d like to store more than 200 photos; without a PRO account you won’t be able to see any photos you’ve uploaded beyond the initially allowed 200), and both offer a variety of organization settings (albums, individual sets, tags, etc.) to allow you to sort and display your photos as you see fit.
If you do put your photos online and allow them to be viewed by others (all photo sharing websites offer some sort of privacy setting; Flickr seems to be the most generous in terms of configuring different privacy settings for collections, sets, and individual photos), keep in mind that they can potentially be taken and claimed by others. You may wish to protect your photos by adding a watermark to them.
