Dave in order to keep costs down many other web sites ask you to host your own pics Is this worth while for KSRC ??
I usually link to one of the freehosting services for the following reasons
1. I think its easier
2. Most sites resize the pics for posting automatically (issue eliminated)
3. If the site goes down I still have a back up of the pics
4. Asking KSRC to host the pics will eventually require more maintenance/cost
5. A lot of other sites this is a requirement / standard
I've supplied the following for you information
