PSA: Photo Hosting on Dreamwidth

[missdiane]

Feel free to share this post since it may be very helpful for those migrating to DW.

I'd been using my photobucket account to post pictures on DW since there's no upload function within the posting screen in DW. Unfortunately photobucket's website has become a complete nightmare of pop up and pop under ads, slow loading, sometimes NO loading, etc.

I tweeted the lovely miss_s_b who also made a very useful DW post here . She mentioned that the clearly-smarter-than-me matgb said there was photo hosting on DW.

A. He's totally right
B. Check these instructions in the FAQ. How do I use Dreamwidth's image hosting? How do I manage my images once they've been uploaded?
C. Duh. I feel like a dope for assuming that since I  couldn't do it while posting that it didn't exist. Everyone gets 500MB of space. Sure, you may need more but at least it's there for easy access

Share away!

Thanks! I also found the upload images function which apparently I can do for those stored on my computer. I'm going to try.

And you're right: photobucket is a nightmare.
