What do you do with your pictures?

Since I am very new to this hobby and can tell it can become all consuming, I just wanted to know what you guys do with your pictures.

My plan is to post them on my website and if they are good enough, offer them for sale. I think that the ultimate complement is for someone to want to display something I captured in their home.

I have printed some and hang them on my walls. Others are posted on my blog to share with family since I live in Texas and my family (including my in-laws) are in Canada.

I no longer shoot for commercial purposes but can't just stop cold turkey. I've go a blog site and albums on Facebook. Some get printed and framed.
Other people enter contests one after the other etc. If you've never had one of your best shots enlarged to 11X14 or larger then you are in for a treat. Take a nice shot to Sam's club or Costco or Staples and have one printed. Don't forget about screen saver albums and greeting cards.

I group my photos together by month and then subset them by date and/or event. I take the photos and do a write up of the adventure they document and send out an 'email update' to friends and family. I have been known to just add a few recent 'teasers' to emails before the formal email update come out. I burn CD's and give a copy to folks who were with me on my various adventures. I put some of the best on a thumb drive and bore people at work with them. I also post on various online forums, like UH and others. I have a few printed out and hanging in my house. I sometimes update my digital picture frame and I have others that show up as screen savers on my computer.
The thought of a hard drive full of unseen photos just make me nuts! Why take photos if you don't see and share them?
Here let me demonstrate by sharing a few photos of my Zipline Adventure on Monday!

Thanks for your replies. ShakyShutter I had one done today. Made a 16x20 and framed it. I am so gitty with doing this that I am beside myself. (can you tell I am a beginner). Since I am so new at this I don't have that many yet, but I can tell it is going to be addicting. This is the one I made into a poster.

I delete most of mine. :( :P
The ones I really like get printed and hung on the walls at home and at the office. A gal I used to work with asked me why I was buying postcards and hanging them on the walls of my cubicle.

I post most of mine on flickr for friends and family to see, as well as to share with other photographic enthusiasts. And if it's something I really want to sell (sports related), I have links on my flickr site that link to full-sized originals over on a smugmug site that I have (since smugmug is set up for ecommerce, and I have to do nothing as far as sales goes, other than promote the site).

I have a few on the walls, some I post to a royalty-free stock and reference photo site. The stock photos have been used in numerous places and for different purposes, such as paintings, blogs, brochures, even a label for hot sauce. I donated three of my shots to a silent auction the Fire/EMS department was having for Muscular Dystrophy.
