  Hi guys.

  I need to know if I can do the following:

  I would like anyone who visits my blog (registered or unregistered) can help me and send me a picture. I would receive this picture in my email and then decide whether publish it or not.

  Can be done?

  Thanks a lot!!

  They can send you a link to the picture then you download it to your computer and upload it – or you could hang an email address on the blog (sucks after the spambots harvest it and start sending you junk) –

  Good idea. Simple but efficient. As for the spambots, timethief wrote an article about possible ways to elude them:
