No. They are probably using a host like PhotoBucket (for example). Simple and easy to use. There are many others from which to choose.

Hi David the size of 300kb is a data size not a physical size and depend on the mp size of the camera so the lower the mp the larger the photograph can be, if your only going to use particular pictures for the web then you can turn down the quality of the camera to suit.
The two pics below are obviously the same and similar kB size though the lower one has a far higher quality setting than the other and so the size is smaller.

It's worth knowing that a pixel count of more than 5mp is totally wasted on the web as the average monitor can't replicate the higher quality images ;)

John looking at that photo you posted it looks like you've did a article about the hidden faces on Celtic coins? There very cleverly done, when you know what to look for its surprising how many there are, nice coins but expensive ;)

John I just checked your site I could not find the hidden face article, have you a link?

The cupronickel 2p was interesting, I just looked it up, it sold for over £1000 crazy, a friend just bought one from a small auction for under £100 not nickel but steel with out its copper coating.
