Volks,

I've put a temporary site up to post pics until something more permanent can be built. It allows you to upload up to 3 gif or jpg files and then displays the path to where the pictures can be found. All you have to do is copy and paste the path into an email or into the address bar. The file size is limited to 150k.

The link is http://spurgin.net/vanagon/

Hopefully later on this will put the pictures into a website automagically as well.

Comments/Suggestions welcomed.

Dylan
