Trouble Shooting Images

3) What if the image is on another server?
I don't recommend using images from another server simply because the server
that houses the image may be down while your server is working! If this
happens, you will either get a broken image or your page will hang while
it is loading. There are exceptions though. You may want a free counter,
a free guest book, or maybe you want to join a banner exchange. These
are OK, but they will require you to display an image from their server
on your site. The best advice here is to be sure to use reliable services
when you get these extra things. They should send you the proper code,
and that you can cut 'n' paste with no problem. Of course, if their server
goes down you get a broken image. If you are "borrowing" the image from
another site, you had just better have the permission of the owner of that
site. Otherwise, you will get a broken image sooner or later. They will
change the name of the file or put it in a protected directory, and that
will get you......yes, a broken image.
