how to save file space!!

ok so hi what is up! as you may know. we have used up around 20% of our available file space, which is kind of a lot! so how can we avoid filling it up more/paying for extra gigabytes? if you're downloading a file from a website then there is an easy way to add images to your website Without taking up precious file space.

say you like this little gif of a cat you find...

you can right-click on it and select "open image in new tab!"

and then, without having to download anything you can copy and paste the url into your code like so!! because this image is stored on another website (thank you betty's graphic collection ^_^) it does not take up any space locally.

so if we start inserting images from other places with links instead of downloads.. we can put as many images as we want wherever, forever!

pros to this method:

no file space!

very easy. ^w^

cons to this method:

if something happens to the source of the image, it can be hard to retrieve it!

clutters up your code if you have a looot of images

also!

if you want to re-use an image and put in on a seperate page of your site (from the homepage to the train station, for example) you do Not have to reupload it multiple times. if you have an image ("image.png") in your home folder and you want to put it in the train station's index file you can tell the computer where to find the file by writing the following: img src="home/image.png"

pros to this method:

saves space if you need to move files from one place to another

cons to this method:

still takes up file space

files have gotta be organized
