Bloggie Wednesdays: Image Optimisation for your Blog

One of the most important aspects on my blog will have to be photos. Very rarely do I post an article without images to accompany the post. I’m sure this is very true for most of you too.

The problem with having many images in one blog post is the loading time on browsers.
