(although I think our conversation just sparked you to originate the idea) Although our new system provides the ability to upload photos for your blog posts directly to our servers from your desktop, Linda offers a good point in her comment about GoDaddy hosting credits above... "it makes it so you’re not a slave to whatever website platform you’re currently using" By this she means that if you ever decide to transfer to a new service (we hope not! but such is life), you won't lose your photos in the conversion because you are controlling them on a third party site/server. If you upload them directly onto our servers (which is a really nice, quick convenience) and you decide to stop using our service, your photos will likely also be deleted. If this is a concern, her solution is a good one! You can also use things like www.flickr.com or www.photobucket.com - there are many free storage services out there. Thanks Linda!

Use one of the domain names you likely have sitting dormant on GoDaddy. Mine came with free hosting, so I have a bunch of free hosting "credits". Create a folder for your graphics on this domain, and upload your graphics to that folder as you need them. When using those graphics for your websites, you simply need to refer to where they are hosted (i.e. http://yourdomain.com/graphics/myfile.jpg). This makes it easy to use the same graphic on multiple sites (like a house photo), and it makes it so you're not a slave to whatever website platform you're currently using. And it makes it easier to transfer from a free host to a hosted site, since you don't have to re-upload all of your graphics.
