  hi there. i am thinking of launching a geography / general interest photo blog. The hosting account that i am looking at offers unlimited bandwidth, which is good for all the photos etc. The problem is that the mysql database has a limit of 100mb. Are the photos stored in the actual database (contributing to the size) or are they seperate, as they would be with a normal site?
  any input much appreciated.
  Thanks.

  To point you in the right direction, however, the image files themselves are not stored in the database. They are stored in a separate folder within your WordPress installation.
