Can the images be included on other webpages?

If you use Blogger to publish to an external site, we will FTP the images you choose to your external server. If your blog is hosted on Blog*Spot, we will host the images for you (for free). The images we host for you can ONLY be displayed on Blog*Spot sites.

Regarding Images from the Web

Blogger's image upload feature allows you to upload and display images in your posts. This is great when you want to add a photograph you shot or an image you created. However, there are a few details to note when it comes to images that are legally protected or hosted at someone else's expense.

Adding Images 'from The Web'

If you choose to 'Add an Image from the Web' using the image upload feature in Blogger, you shouldn't use an image location that is hosted at someone else's expense without their permission. Sometimes this is referred to as 'stealing bandwidth' because every time your blog loads, the image is loaded from their server, and this person likely incurs an expense.

Copyrighted Materials

Before you put an image in your blog, keep in mind that some images are protected as intellectual property through copyright. This means that the creator has sole legal rights to their works and may not want you copying and displaying them. If you're unsure whether or not an image is copyrighted, it's best not to risk it.

Photo Sharing Service

Photo sharing services make organizing, storing and sharing digital photos convenient, easy, safe and most importantly–fun. Through online photo albums, friends and family can join by sharing pictures of important events, good times and special occasions.
There are three main competitors in the online Photo Sharing:

* Imageshack
ImageShack offers free, unlimited storage, but has a 100 MB per hour bandwidth limit for each image. This sounds like a lot, but do the math: that's 1.66 MB per minute, or about 28 KB per second. And the larger your image is, the faster you'll burn through that meager allotment. But it's incredibly easy to use-- you don't even have to sign up-- and according to their common questions page, anything goes as long as it's not illegal.

* Flickr
Flickr offers a free basic account with limited upload bandwidth and limited storage. Download bandwidth is unlimited. Upgrading to a paid Pro account for $25/year removes all upload and storage restrictions. However, Flickr's terms of use warn that "professional or corporate uses of Flickr are prohibited", and all external images require a link back to Flickr.

* Photobucket
Photobucket's free account has a storage limit and a download bandwidth limit of 10 GB per month (that works out to a little over 14 MB per hour). Upgrading to a paid Pro account for $25/year removes the bandwidth limit. I couldn't find any relevant restrictions in their terms of service.

Store more photos using Wordpress Media

Wordpress media can store up to 3 Gb. Picture from Wordpress can be used in Blogger. Offcourse you should use your own picture to avoid risk of illegal use of copyrighted material. The following picture stored in wordpress.

How to do it?

Do the following step:

  1. Upload your photo to wordpress (click number 1)
  2. View  photo in media library  until photo displayed (click number 2) 
    Right click the photo and choose "copy image location" (firefox) or "copy image address"(opera)
  3.  insert tag to blog using html

    < img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="PASTE TO HERE" border="0" alt="ALTERNATIVE TEXT" />

    Offcourse you should use opening tag < ................ />.
