  I upload images to my blog from picasa and photobucket. If the picture is clicked on then it opens up access to all of my pictures in picasa and/or photobucket. I don’t want to have to save the pictures on my harddrive and take up space there, and I am not ready to upgrade my space with wordpress to upload my pictures here. Is there a way to still use the photos in my other accounts without allowing access to my entire albums when the picture gets clicked on in my blog???

  @boblets
  I’ve broken my links plenty of times the
  way you have mentioned but a lot of bloggers
  don’t understand Basic HTML so that’s why I
  posted the simple way of breaking a image link… :)

  hehe- it’s cool. It’s just that it never dawned on me that there should be a button for it :-D

  You can click on the image and click the edit image button to get a full range of options (including change / remove link) as well. When adding an image, there is another option to click “No Link”, which will ensure the image does not link to anything before it is even posted.

  Here is a great FAQ explaining images:

  Image Settings – Titles, Descriptions, Captions, etc.
