Oh, but scanners are _cheap_. Film/slide scanners are expensive, but a
generic flatbed scanner that'll scan prints shouldn't set you back more than
US$100 at the absolute max -- $50 if you shop around a bit/pick one up used.
Sure, it won't get you the 4000x3000-sized monster images that a slide
scanner will, but if all you want to do is put prints on a web page, it'll
be more than adequate.
As for finding a site, geocities et al are still free, though you get
adverts; photopoint seems another popular option for images. Making pages is
easy, too; I use "batch thumbs" from harmware -- simple, functional, _very_
easy to use.
