I've used all three options (blog, web site, and Photobucket.com).

First, note that you do not need to get a domain name. Your ISP has probably given you web site space, and you can refer to it with something like "pages.suddenlink.net/blahblah).

Which you choose depends on what you want to do.

If you are adding pictures a few at a time, the blog may be most convenient. Adding a lot at a time is not as easy, so a web site might be better for that. I started doing our Waikiki trip photos with a blog, but I had to individually upload each image. Instead I did it with Frontpage, designed everything then uploaded with one click.

If you're just uploading some photos now and then to share, a photo site might be best.

If short on space on a web site, you can store photos on a photo site, and display them on your web site via links.

Blogs and photo sites usually restrict the max image size.
