Freeway Blog Downing Street Memo -
Apparently, I don't have priviledges to copy and paste pictures at DU, but if you go to this first link below- you'll find a terrific yard sign that says "Google Downing Street Memo"

http://www.freewayblogger.com/weblog.htm


The point is that we have to be the media to capture the level of attention this story requires.


Lots of other photos of freeway blogging signs all over this website - and a step by step 'how to'

2. Grabbing a picture from another web site is easy if you're using
Windoze. Simply right click on the picture & select "Copy Image Locatation". Go to your message & paste in the link.

However



Say you have a picture you want to use in a posting;

h ttp:/foobar.com/JulieNewmar.jpg

Now, if you just link it to your DU posting, you immediately
start stealing bandwidth from foobar.com. This is simply not
a nice thing to do as some websites pay for every byte they
transfer.

If you change that URL a little;

http://foobar.com.nyud
.net:8090/JulieNewmar.jpg

It then uses a free public caching service. It gets fetched
ONCE from foobar.com, and they are not made bankrupt as each
of DU's 30,000 horny guys look at your Catwoman picture.
