Upload from URL?
Thursday
Jul 3, 2008
Did you know the WordPress image uploader is quite happy to save and crunch images directly from the net?
Instead of saving an image and then uploading it, open the image uploader, click on ‘choose files to upload’, paste the URL of the image into the filepath and click OK. WordPress will quite happily grab and crunch the image.

Wow, what a great little tip! I had no idea you could do that.
I knew about the URL feature, but that just hotlinks the image. This actually pulls it down and crunches it. Nice!
