Throwing Myself to the sharks

Okay so I started up a blog site for fun, and i just realized i cannot post the link yea cause im a noob haha. My main traffic niche being non nude teens. I do have another nude site that I am currently working on also which will be my main site, this blog site is just for fun and is going to be used as a test run and a learning venture =). I was wondering, because of the galleries I have it seems to take longer to load, but I do not like stealing bandwidth from websites by having say 5 or so thumbnails on my site and a click here to see the rest of this hottie. so i figured i would upload them myself =), with the exception of a few buttons that I am going to change later on today haha. Is it better to leave em hosted on linked website or download a zip and upload the gallery to your server? Sorry =) its like 230 am and I have been staring at my computer screen for what seems like forever haha, the time of day where your fingers and your brain does not seem to connect the dots ( thoughts)
