 * Hi
    Is it possible to use the Flexslider and pull in external images rather than
   having them hosted on my WordPress site? For example, having an image at [http://www.example.net/image.jpg](http://www.example.net/image.jpg)
   rather than linking it from within the media library. The reason I want this 
   is because the media library is so bad at organising files, I want to use FTP
   for my site’s admins to keep everything more organised. Many thanks Rob
