207: imgur Blocked in The UK

HAITUS TILL FURTHER NOTICE

I'm posting to say I'm still alive, but again my icon making has been on hiatus and will be on hiatus till further notice, till I find another image host as of 30th September Imgur has blocked access to the UK, so I can no longer host all my graphics, photo's and GIFs that I use for DreamWidth and Live journal

This is the link from the BBC News page → https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo

So if anybody has a host that I can use, can you please comment, as this has annoyed us graphic makers that play by the rules

Hi everyone, I have been really struggling to get this post to work over in LJ it seems to just post the code not the images, so if anybody can help it would be gratefully received, as I'm stumped - all fixed now, it seems to go to the modern editor instead of the html one!

Anyway on to the icons! I don't go on to Dreamwidth that often as I mainly forget! So browsing today I saw the somein30 challenge for geometry shapes, mostly it was fandom, but what about geometry in nature? Flowers, architecture, animals? So I did 10 of these, hope they fit the theme, while I try to find the answers to solve my LJ problems
