In other words, what is stopping that Australian ad agency from using that incredibly cute picture of you daughter in Brussels without contacting you and more importantly paying you for rights of usage.metaDADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142482318803356612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-52907261732493137522007-07-17T10:15:00.000-08:002007-07-17T10:15:00.000-08:00Coming out of lurk mode to say thank you very much...Coming out of lurk mode to say thank you very much for this.

For those who aren't as savvy to that though, using the regular method I've described might be an easier introduction to smaller-sized photos as they wouldn't have to resize them themselves.<BR/><BR/>I also am hesitant to host photos on a separate page where people have to leave my site to see them, anything that takes visitors away from your site without any benefit to you (such as a specific link) should be used cautiously. <BR/><BR/>G's Cottage: not sure what you're describing, but hey if it's working for you, great! I'm under suspicion that the method of saving photos as a smaller size that I'm describing may be the dummy's way of doing things, that there is an easier way somewhere else but it's automatic and has worked well for me and . . . you know how hard old habits die :)<BR/><BR/>And as for my favorite blogs, you can find most of them on my sidebar under the plus sign at "Blogs I Read" and sometimes I'll mention others I'm visiting (I posted a few last week on Tuesday).Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.com
