Hi there old friend and thanks for noticing. Congratulations on your PR jump, and now that I know the image import plugin works I might give it a try.

hi. blogbloke.

your theme is like a wp premium theme..very nice.

i actually tried the wp plugin which you don’t recommend and it worked flawlessly. i have about a thousand or more images imported by that plugin, which i actually learned from you as well, somewhere here in your blog, about moving to wp from blogger.its been 5 months already.my blog btw, became google PR4 in just 3 months

I found your blog via Google. I have seen many sites and most of them do not look this good. I will let my friends know about this site. Thanks for the excellent content.

Images at FREE WordPress.com work great, less filling!

And, Free WordPress.com images load faster than hosted WordPress images!

I used blogger hosted images earlier but since then switched to flickr before moving over to Self hosted wordpress. I got upgraded to flickr pro as a result of being an att yahoo subscriber. But I would think the 25 a year for the pro plan would be worth it.

I think it’s a great idea too. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a plugin to automatically make a mirrored copy on the free Wordpress account? Any takers out there?

Hi BB:

Using FREE WordPress.com is a great idea for two reasons!

Storing images (will test on next post)
and another backup of our posts (Privacy set to block Search Engines)!

Hey Kathy … call me.

Jaffer, I took a look at Zooomr but it was unavailable.

Hi Deb:

1. Providing that you are only going to upload images and not write any posts, install plugins, new themes, wordpress upgrades etc. then I guess you’re all set for the next millenium.

2. Anything that calls another server is dependant on the speed of that server. That goes for scripts and widgets too. Images that haven’t been optimized for the web will slow down a blog.

3. Now there’s an idea. Use your FREE Wordpress.com account to store your images. Glad I thought of it.

A few questions:

1. What is the file size of the images that consume the WordPress storage rapidly?

All my images from Blogger were uploaded to my WordPress Blog.

In 2007, my average image file was 7Kb and calculating the “space free divided by the space used” provides 107 years of text and images at my WordPress Blog!

2. Does a Blog load slower when your images are placed on a different server?

3. 3Gb of free storage is currently provided by the free WordPress.com.

Will their competition eventually offer more free space?

I am a big fan of hosting pictures on third-party sites. Since Flickr has a limit of 200 pictures for cheapos, I use Zooomr for pictures and memories as they’ve no limit and imageshack for screenshots and other blog related images.

Currently Zooomr is going through an upgrade so all my old images are unavailable !

Thanks, Bloke. I sort of knew that some day I’d have to address this. I did download locally all my old photos from Blogger’s server, worried they might go missing one day, so I guess I need to get cracking on my old posts to redirect them to a different service. I have some work to do!
