Idea for a discussion post

[mekare]

Since image hosting is such a big topic for fanartists (and especially beginners) maybe we could have a discussion post or how to post or an exchange of tips for the technical side of actually getting your work online? Since photobucket changed their model I think a lot of artists would appreciate hearing about alternatives. I mean inside dreamwidth everything's fine and dandy but if you'd like to post your work to AO3 (as I do) there are some technical issues to consider. Don't know about other sites.

That's a good suggestion, having discussion posts for technical issues that artists encounter. Will keep it in mind. Thanks. :)

Since it's something that frustrates me on a regular basis I thought others might find it helpful as well. Some links to tutorials could be included (for example, I know you have your art website - how to do that, or how to self-host images so we are independent of companies like Photobucket to randomly change policies...)
