Tried to upload more photos and got a note from Blogger that I had exceeded my quota - so I paid for more space - but it takes 24 hours for credit to be acknowledged - so go to my blog for more Clayton photos.
Perhaps I am being excessive?

Well, apparently after you have stored X number of photos, you run out of space - and then have to pay - it's $20 a year for 10 GB - which does not seem excessive - but I thought it was totally free.
I emailed Eliza but haven't heard back yet. (Why do I always go to Eliza for my techno questions - the busy mom of two small kids and I barrage her with my techno woes??)
seems like a reasonable investment - do i need to chip in? i am a terrill.
I thought the whole thing seemed a little weird--Blogger used to charge for "advanced features" on blogs several years ago ("Blogger Pro"), before Google bought Blogger, but I hadn't heard anything about Google charging for storage space. However, I found this link:
Upgrading Storage
Looks like it is user-specific. If you click on the link "check your current storage usage," you'll see how much space your Google account has used. I assume that Picasa Web Albums encompasses Blogger. Gmail is separate.
It is legit - I know of others that have used up their free amount of storage space w/ Blogger (applicable to photos only, I believe) and so have had to purchase additional space.
A free alternative is to post your photos to an online location, like Flickr (there are others, I'm sure, though I don't know who they are :-), and then find the embed link to embed into your post. If you ever wanted to use one of those photobook services that makes a book out of your blog, though, I'm not sure how the image would transfer over...
$20 for 10 GB doesn't seem excessive to me - just hope some other "hidden" cost doesn't show up!
