Thanks for the good info, everyone. Kevin, the Flickr Share function works. Yea Nancy, unless Yahoo's sold Flickr to Google since 09/2011, it appears to be G-free. Have you found other info? http://www.launch.co/blog/a-horribly-unimpressive-list-of-products-yahoo-launched-unde.html Arthur, thanks for the info on Flickr Pro. Mostly, I'll use it to upload images to post here, so no concerns about running out of space. Lordy, Bob - since their wretched changes last month, Google's sounded worse than FB. What precautions do we need to take w/ FB? My privacy settings are the strictest allowed for having friends. I deleted the gmail acc't I was using only for FB and changed to Yahoo. Still don't trust Google not to track me through the deleted account. My understanding is, each time you log out of FB and even close their sign-in page, they track your subsequent activity until you clear history. Is that right? From an article on Google changes: (After March 1,) the simplest step to prevent Google from combining data it collects on multiple services is to not sign into Google when using them. For example, if you're a Gmail user, you could log out of Gmail before using Google Search, Google Maps or YouTube. - Google already uses your search history (visible in your Web History) to target advertisements in search. - Google could potentially use information from your search history to target an advertisement to you in YouTube, Google Maps, and Gmail, among many other services. - Any features involving personalization based on Web History won't apply if you have Web History turned off. - With Web History enabled, G will keep these records indefinitely. - Note that disabling Web History in your Google account will not prevent Google from gathering and storing this information and using it for internal purposes. - It also does not change the fact that ANY INFORMATION GATHERED AND STORED BY GOOGLE COULD BE SOUGHT BY LAW ENFORCEMENT. (emphasis mine) - With Web History disabled, personal information will be partially anonymized after 18 months, and certain kinds of uses, including sending you customized search results, will be prevented. - Instructions for disabling Web History are in the article.

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. Normally there are two ways to get the pictures from your camera to the computer. Either attach the camera to the computer with a usb cable which fits into a port on the camera or buy a card reader for the type of card your camera uses to store the pictures and remove the card from the computer and put it in the reader which plugs into the computer. If you mention the brand and model of your camera someone can offer specific advice.

Picassa (and other photo editors) allow you to rearrange pictures within the application. When you move those pictures outside of Picassa, they are arranged by tradition standards like file name, date, etc. The only real option you have would be to export the files from Picassa creating a new, sequential file name for each.
