 * Hey all,
 * For faster load time, should I host images in my own images file on my blog?
 * Usually I just take an image from say Flickr, and copy the image location and
   us that. It’s much easier and less time consuming, rather than saving the image
   to my PC, loading to the website, then changing links….. yadayada
 * Does it make a difference with load speed?
 * Thanks!

 * Oddly, Flickr’s probably going to be faster here. But remember, your images are
   at their control, so if Flickr decides not to let you use them, you’re SOL.
