My god, it’s enormous!

In my previous post, I hosted the picture out of my Flickr account.

I didn’t know until a bit later that the picture, at a measly 500*375 pixels, is at 145KB.

Yo. My optimized pics at 145KB are usually 1024 pixels wide and bigger, ya?

I tried hosting my pics out of onefinejay.com, but I am having problems with my htaccess. Wanna see it?

Check out the last eight lines. I tried manually setting that (and OMG was I careful not to break my site, yes I was) and using cPanel’s interface (which by the way isn’t too happy with WP’s htaccess rules) to no avail. Pictures I host out of onefinejay.com do not show up here.

Help? Bryan? Anybody?

PS: Please no suggestions of using WP’s upload feature. I’ll write about that later on, but I have my reasons for not using it. Also, I want to have my files out of one account and accessible from one or two other servers, yes?
