Maybe Mark is busy actually taking photo's rather than worrying about his punctuation & grammar. He could even be one of those totally far out crazy dudes who goes out & meets real people, socialises & has real life conversations & stuff like that.
Your probably write. i shuld go out their more offen; but sum times i loose my confidents - so i just stay on the computer.
 
I am on RFF and APUG galleries, and a few on Shutterfly. I did just start on Parade, which, I think, is quite new. They let you try as many as 30 photos for free. This does not get you all the features, but I think the site looks good.
The address is: http://getparade.com/
The next level is $9/month which is not bad for a not-profit operation (mine, not theirs). I'll see how it works over the next year or so.
 
I voted 'Something else' because I did not design my own website - I use a template site because I don't really have the skill and the time (or the inclination) to design and maintain a site myself. Much better to spend my time taking and making the images. Link to site below.
 
My own site running pixelpost. CSS is really easy to learn, since most of the real coding has already been done for you. Plus, if you don't feel like messing around with it, there are many really nice templates out there you can copy.
 
For some reason, Flickr just seems overloaded and clumsy to me.

I do photoblog things about every month or so, depending on my mood and the phase of the moon.

My main on-line gallery is here, and I actually like it. It does what I need.

I've been considering getting my own domain and I do have a friend who can help me with that, and he actually showed me a gallery program which I kind of like, but I haven't moved forward with that.
 
Pbase, Flickr, and here

Pbase, Flickr, and here

I prefer Pbase because I have a whole lot of flexibility to do a layout for the galleries. There are problems with Pbase, for sure; but I choose to put up with them.
Flickr is a vast morass of clumsy-ness as far as the site layout is concerned. RIGID is how it seems to me. But, it has some groups that have information I want..
I only posted to the RFF gallery because one of the members here kept saying I needed to do so; not may favorite photo venue, either.
As for a blog... I don't have the time...

I used to love deviantart but its a nightmare to use. I'm on flickr right now and loving it except for their oversharpen feature while I upload files 🙁
 
I do have a presence on Flickr, which I should make more use of, but the level of sycophancy tends to put me off.

You should try the Delteme Uncensored or Del*teme Uncensored groups on Flickr. Unless your shot is truly great or particularly fun, it will be completely abused, sworn at, and you will basically be told you are an imbecile (although your next shot may wow everyone). The good thing is that about one in every five or so comments will give you a plain, unvarnished, honest criticism and those can be great. But, you need a really strong stomach for the group and be aware that they really are 18+ (not usually because of content but of the language -- not enough salt in the sea for these forums).

I pretty much only use Flickr myself. Occasionally sling something up on Leica User Forum, but there you will only get praise usually (even for some frankly awful shots).
 
I have about 10K photos on smugmug (paid), but am thinking of moving (or adding) flickr pro. One thing I need is lock down security, basically archiving ability, so locked down images are blocked from search engines, etc. Does flickr pro have this?
 
I think if you make them private google won't find them... but try to get some infos about the sharpen Flickr apply to pics you upload. I do think they don't add the filter to original size but that could be a mess for you if they do.

You can make your images "private' if you like, but don't know how rock solid secure that is. If they are viewable to the public, i don't know if you have an option to block from search engines. Course, if you did not label or tag them or have a description, they would basically be unlikely to be found by any engines.
 
In addition to the privacy settings, you can opt to block all of your photos from search engines on flickr.
