For those who run a blog/web which based on self hosting maybe you’re ever confused with capacity of your hosting. The common problem is always about over capacity. And one main cause of it is because pictures in the blog.

There is a popular term on blogosphere if a post blog will have more valuable is there is a picture to help describe what a post about. And you have to be known about another term ‘picture told thousand words’. But picture also can make a problem while you run a blog/web with limited or small hosting capacity. Especially picture have quite big size of file. Sure it could take more size on small hosting capacity.

The main solution to solve this problem is by use external image hosting. Now there are so many web service which give free image hosting such as imageshack, photobucket and XS.TO. And now I would like to tell you about Imgur.

Imgur is a web service which offer free image hosting. What makes Imgur different with another image hosting is at Imgur you don’t have to make an account to host your image. It’s very easy and simple to use. Just upload your image then you’ll can rotate or resize your image. After finalize it, you can choose some URL of the image. You can choose URL link, HTML image and HTML link for message board. Choose it as you like. Imgur only support on three image file types JPG, GIF and PNG with the maximum file size is 2MB. We also can submit our image to social bookmarking site such as Digg, del.icio.us, Reddit and Fark. Interesting doesn’t it?

So I think Imgur is a perfect image hosting for blogger especially to those blogger which only have small and limited hosting space.
