Blooger (aka:blogspot) or Wordpress.com page

Postby Roy Mustang » Wed Nov 25, 2009 11:14 pm

I'm trying to make a web page for my photography. I want to link my photos from Flickr to one of these pages, so that I can then show it off in one easy load.

Which one would be better or what people have use.

I'm kind of favoring over Wordpress.com. If I link from Flickr to wordpress, would that count as their 3 gigabytes of file storage or is the storage only if you upload the pictures to your wordpress site only and not link them from another hosting site?

Every online hosting service I've ever seen calls "storage" what's physically on their server - NOT what's on someone else's. Honestly, I'm not sure how they would be able to track anything else. Also, if you're hotlinking your graphics from another server, then you also don't have to worry about the bandwidth issue either. Lots of services do just that. Take a look at twitter, for example. They store a bunch of their CSS, js, etc on Amazon's servers.
