That's one blog post I'll never write :) Though, if you're ever in need/want of a specific image, feel free to drop me a line. Ah, Bandit!

I def use an FTP to keep me sane most of the time, but I've also found for blog purposes, that using good ol' picasa and my tethered blackberry connection at night make it easy to upload my images to a web album and then embed them as I see fit! Nothing like working in your sleep ;) Nice info!

Doing this should reduce the file size without having to change the image size. Another strategy that’s worked for me:

For bloggers, resizing is definitely the way to go. To those of you on Windows XP (that's most of you sitting at internet cafes around the developing world): go with Microsoft's tiny-but-efficient Image Resizing PowerToy - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx (you can even keep the install file with you on a USB key). It's always been the easiest solution for me. Thanks GG and keep up the great work :) Ugh, i’ve been there – and i’m just a blogger, not a photojournalist!
