As i as was making the previous post on keyboard, i started to put lots of picture that was not from my flickr account. It was to be just on the blog. I started hotlinking to those sites that host the pictures, i was thinking…

Hmmmm. i think i better not do that, the webmaster might be unhappy with it with the “large” number of hits they are going to recieve from my post. I better download them first and upload them to my blog.

I continued to download one jpg, two jpg, and felt tired. This is so wrong. It is just so slow! Not efficient at all! How can i make things go faster? Then i recalled this technique i tried in some other program. How about during the insert image, instead of selecting a file from My Computer, how about i just paste the url to that image? I tried and waited….

BINGO! It works. Basically windows file dialog accepts http connection. How sweet. So with this i continued with my blog post.

Hope this tips helps someone out there.

Just tried this with photoshop. It worked too. Just that it’s slower than what i had hoped for. But it bascially streamlines the process of downloading saving it somewhere first etc. This is especially true for the above task of downloading and uploading images, now it’s streamlined to just one process of uploading.

And yes, i need to fix the layout in this blog.. It sucks.
