  As far as I can tell Sobia, there is no way to search for a "free" gallery member.
Maybe someone will tell us differently...
I will tell you for very little money you get a really nice place to put up to 300 photos, so I am very happy to have purchased a premium gallery.

  Type your name in "Search site" - top left corner. You'll see your photos listed. Open one and go to your gallery.
Not too elegant, I know. :)

  Free galleries are something new this year and there is no listing for free galleries at the present time. I agree with Susan, it's best to sign up for a full membership for a small amount money.

Until you can sign up for the full membership, my recommendation is to go to your gallery and bookmark (Add to Favorite) your gallery in your browser or create a Shortcut on Desktop for subseqent viewing. Tell your friends and family to do so as well.

  Thanks all for your responses. I guess i'll have to get a premium gallery. Anyhow there should be a way to get to your gallery page even if its free.

  Can't you just sign in to access your gallery? Others can access your gallery when you upload photos, the photos go into the recenlty uploaded photos gallery pages (or the current contest entries gallery pages). People can click on them and click on your name to see your gallery - or you can e-mail the link to family and friends, just copy and paste the url from your gallery to an e-mail and send it as a direct link.

I think if they made a database accessible to everyone of ALL the free galleries, it would be HUGE! It's just one of the perks of paying for the Premium Gallery/service to be in a searchable database.

  Hi all,

For those who have a Free Gallery... There is a way to find it, view it and share it with others. Give your gallery a nickname and BP will provide you with a shortcut link.

Sign in & go to the My Member Info link.
At the bottom of the page is a box where you can type in a Nickname for your gallery.
BP will link your Nickname to a URL as follows: http:/www.betterphoto.com?(yournickname)

Ex: http:/www.betterphoto.com?marquee is mine.
I added mine as the signature to my yahoo email so when I email friends and family, they can click on the link and see what I have added.

Hope this helps,
Marquee

  Marquee,
The method of using the nickname used to be only available on premium galleries. Looks like it's now available on free galleries, too.

Good tip.

  Piotr,
I wonder what made you choose pet as your nickname...hmmm... Your photo titles match your subjects perfectly!

Chris,

I can't take all the credit for the tip. I read it in an older thread no long after I set up my free gallery. I don't recall who submitted it, but it worked for me so why not pass it on.
