Yes, I've been waiting for this all my life. Today I caved and bought a Premium Account to see what it's all about. It stores your Media Locker photographs forever for as long as you subscribe, whether you share them via your Multiply photo albums or not and also keeps your HiRez/Hi-rez/Hi-Res...whatever... photographs and video download links as well.Well, none of that was really a big draw for me, as I store my media on an external hard drive and photobucket, so I did a bit more reading and was suckered.For a paltry US$19.95 a year (no, make that "poultry") you get to be ad-free on your own page and on any page you visit. The right rail
is then available for you to customise with your own words of wisdom, photographs and other HTML 



. The upgrade to Premium happened as soon as my payment was accepted. I then had to click on Customise My Site and the right rail box with Edit feature, like the ones in all the other boxes, was supposed to appear. It didn't, so I e-mailed Customer Service, who replied in under 15 minutes and advised me to clear my cache. It worked.
Then it was simple enough pasting HTML from my photo album into the box. Non-politically correct as it is to admit to missing anything on Yahoo 360, I always liked the 4 avatar photos you could use there. It was a very effective way for showing something about yourself very quickly without making people read through endless blogs. You have to be careful about the sizing though. If you google an image and get the thumbnail, right click and save directly from the thumbnail rather than the full-sized image. Then you get one which fits within the rail. Upload to your Multiply photoalbum and embed the HTML code for the photograph in the blog. If you upload a full-sized image, it extends off to the right and you have to scroll across to see it, which is a pain.I've uploaded my friend Francie's gif avatar to a Multiply album and saved it, followed by a glitter-graphics animated gif of Aslan which she's not entirely sure about because it looks as if it's about to have her for dinner. I also embedded an imeem video on autoplay, but unlike a soundtrack in the Welcome box or a blog, it played when a blog was opened as well and interfered with Glynis' viewing of a video. Thanks to Glynis for pointing that out. It also bumped Francie's photo off the rail, perhaps because the rail is of a finite length unlike the page. Since there seems no point in having a music track which isn't on autoplay on a front page and there's a separate feature for videos, I don't think I'll waste time on those.This right rail's going to keep me busy for a long time now, which is great because I was beginning to feel a bit restricted by what I could do here without spending more time than I think I should learning CSS. The only thing is that it doesn't notify people of changes, but that's probably not a bad thing for people on the receiving end.
