  I just started using the new editor. Just wondering why image URLs I insert in my blog are saved in Media Library. Do they eat up my allotted space?

  When I did this in the old editor, images from other websites were not saved there, only images I uploaded directly to WP.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Every image you upload into your Media Library does occupy space but I don’t have a direct answer to your question as what you describe is news to me.
