Hey guys:)

This might sound like a dumb question, but i really need to make sure. Remember, i'm somewhat of a newbie.

I am placing an image on a site and the site i'm useing it from says if your site has alot of visitors, to make a copy of the image on your server and refer to the local copy of the image in the code.

Q.1. Does this just basicly mean to place a copy of the image in my hosting area and not link to their site as the place to download the image?

>Instead from my site, link to the image where i have it stored.

Thanks guys:)
I appreciate your help)

Yes. They're asking you not to hotlink to the image on their site. Just copy the image and put it on your own server.
