They upload the original photo and use the width and height HTML tags. Well your browser still loads the entire photo (which is bandwidth intensive depending on the size) and then resizes it after it's downloaded. So yes people need to optimize their photos. You can still offer a full sized one but link to it, don't display it! lol Thanks for the comment Danny! I still find people are using HTML to resize their photos.

It's also worthwhile pointing out to people that if they do post pics to their blogs, they should optimise them. I know it sounds obvious, but you'd be amazed at the number of people who post pics of over 1MB to their blogs direct. Great post.

I am glad you mentioned it. Miss604 did a video of how to insert photos on Blip.tv, and your written instructions are a very nice complement. Tyler, this is an awesome post!

Photos I put on Flickr will end up being ones that I really don't care what people do with, whereas photos I upload to my gallery are ones that I'd like to be a little more restrictive when it comes to licensing.
