— unpredictable thoughts

I’ve been look­ing at some cool new themes for Word­Press that use Sand­box. It’s a great envi­ron­ment to get in and use css to con­trol the look and feel.

Prob­lem is that most of the really cool skins that cre­ate thumb­nails and size images can’t cope with pho­tos from flickr. I almost never upload images twice. I refer to their loca­tion usu­ally at flickr. These cool mag­a­zine and cre­ative lay­out require that I upload the image I want to use. This means that blog­ging about an image located else­where requires a down­load and then an upload. I want to be able to linkback to the orig­i­nal instance for sev­eral rea­sons includ­ing giv­ing proper credit for the image.

I don’t want to ask some­one to write a plug-in or sript for this. Any­one have any ideas?
