If you don't have your own webspace to host the images -- which would be unusual, since even the cheapest ISPs generally give customers a bit of webspace to play with

I never had any web space. Sure, it's been available, but I never had any use for it. But when Derek said he could cut your 20 seconds in half, I felt the challenge, set it up and timed my fingers.

Still have virtually no use for web space. <g> Seriously, I got the amusement of playing with that particular toy out of my system at the office a long time ago and I have no personal application for it now, other that housing SI pics should I choose to use them.

However, during that process of testing my finger speed, I thought of a good reason not to just paste screen shots in--because they're bitmaps, which are large and would really add up. I suppose that if you have to go through the process of converting a bitmap to something more suitable and save it, you might as well save it to the webspace and paste the location into your post. It's not that much extra work.

So, IG, I have two files out there for two screenshots, the highlighted table I posted to Derek and a frame of Clay's performance from Wednesday, which I posted on LB's American Idol thread. They'll probably be sitting out there lonely for eternity and I will have long since forgotten that I have the space and that they and the space are even out there.
