Stop Stealing Bandwidth - Use Imgred!

Not that you are, necessarily, or intentionally. But if you want to embed an image from another site, use "imgred". It's a pretty cool service. Basically, just put "http://imgred.com" in front of the URL of the original picture. Imgred gets a copy of that picture and hosts it on its own servers so you aren't using up someone else's bandwidth.

The URL of the service should be obvious. Not sure what they get out of it, but it beats the hassle of copying the images to your own site or Flickr or wherever. And it's certainly better than using the bandwidth someone else is paying for.
