Quickly use images from other sites without hotlinking
Some sites, like this one, prevent images being displayed at all if you hotlink directly to them for your own site. If you’re going to nick an image off someone else’s site, its considered good manners to at least host the image yourself so that the original site doesn’t get bombarded with additional image requests using up their precious bandwidth.
ImgRed.com allows you to do just this, without the hassle of hosting the image yourself somewhere else and the whole faff of uploading etc.
All you do is this:
Just grab the URL of the image and append it to http://imgred.com/http://example.com/pic.jpg
Peasy! ImgRred.com copies the image to their server the first time it’s requested, then serves it up permanently.
Site Update: the code for all my buttons and banners has been updated with this script so that you can easily pop something tiny and pretty on your site without having to host the image yourself or edit the code provided.

hahaha! Just ignore the court jester (as appointed by our Queen Wakame). You’re more than welcome to link to my banner ads just as much as you’re welcome to display this on your site
… if you can find any use for it.

Also, that’s called stealing, and if you do it, you will surely go to hell.
That’s right, using images from someone else’s site is as wrong as blasphemy and murder. There, I’ve said it and now you can all live life knowing your inevitable fates.
Hugs and kisses!
