technical difficulties

Houston, we have a problem.

Last night when I went to post to the baking blog, I was informed that I was over my data storage limit.

When I first started blogging, I had no idea where it all would lead. Certainly not to the baking blog. I tried a few different things with the photos I posted here. Display size. Loading to Flickr first then linking. Changing photo links so full size can't be accessed/copied/stolen. I've thought a LOT about watermarks.

But I always seem to come back to just editing and uploading through blogger. It's easy.

And gorgeous, high quality files? Take up a LOT of space.

So now I find myself at a crossroads. Do I go back through all my blog photos, delete what's been loaded, resize EVERYTHING, and reload? Do I go back through and load my files to Flickr or Photobucket, then link everything in? Or do I keep doing what I'm doing, and start paying Google for storage?

And the worst part? I'm stuck photoless until I figure it out.
