Where do you store your photos that you use for your blog? Well, I don’t have a complete answer to that question, but I do have a part one answer to that question. Suffice it to say, photography is a much different endeavor than blogging. Whereas the text of blogging is typically of human authorship, the articles that you hand-craft and shape as you please, photography is a bit different. Photography is a statement of how the world appeared from a particular device, at a particular time, at a particular location. That being said, it makes sense to store all photos under that organizational guise.
- Footnote: Renote, I searched for this and found it, that means it’s important!
So, then, what about photos for your blog? Naturally, those first premises mean that blog photos should be linked from an external source. Diagrams, by contrast, are very dissimilar to photos and more similar to the text of a blog in that a diagram is hand-authored by you, and possible to reproduce by hand, just like the text of the blog articles you type. Photographs, by definition, are beyond human hand reproducibility. Where you store those photos, it’s got to be on some more general purpose photo storage server, and that is what I leave uncovered as a part two step.
So, I guess this brings up another important point in hand. If you have a photo in your blog article, it better not be in any way the sole source of some important information. There has to also be a simple, purely hand reproducible diagram accompanying the photo.
