First of all, Happy Holidays to all!!!
Secondly, This is all new to me. I just purchased a new Nikon D40 with the twin Kit lenses. I am looking to upload my pictures to a good site. My friend swears by Snapfish, another kodak. I like the look of smugmug, but everything costs a bit more than the other sites.
I am looking for a site that has a good reputation and is fairly priced. Your input and help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

I use http://www.photobox.co.uk/ thanks to Roger, and have never regretted it. Fast service. Consistant in colours and contrast. Great Fuji paper in choices of matt or gloss and you can pay via paypal.

I assume you are looking for a place to print your photos?
I use www.mpix.com and I love them. They are a little more expensive than snapfish or winkflash, but they quality is much better. I will use snapfish or winkflash if it's not something important. Something like Christmas cards and things like that.
I have also made some prints at Walmart when I was in a jam and needed them right away. They are OK, but not nearly as nice as what I get from mpix.
I have also used www.adoramapix.com and was very happy with them as well.
Depending on what you want to do with the prints, there are lots of options from the cheap consumer stuff like snapfish, to high end pro labs. It all depends on what you want to spend. Take a few images,and upload them to several different sites, and order the same prints from each place. When you get them, compare the quality. Don't just look at the prints, look at they way they are packaged and shipped as well. Some of the places will ship them in a paper envelope (snapfish, winkflash), others (mpix) in a cardboard box with the prints inside sealed in plastic.

Or, if you are just looking for a site to upload to, to share with others and use for posting, I use Flickr, Photobucket and Picture Trail.
