Photo of traditional kite flying in Kelantan, Malaysia

Traditional Malay Kite Flying

Reason for uploading this photo via Blogger photo upload icon, Phydeaux3 reported when uploading photos via Blogger, Beta IP and Image Hosting Changes (close new window/tab to get back to this page). I just wanted to test if it is so.

Another reason - doing my bit for my country. 2007 is Visit Malaysia Year and hoping to promote tourism to Malaysia via this photo of a Malay dressed in traditional garb flying a traditional kite in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The photo is copyrighted by Tourism Malaysia, but is free to use to promote Malaysia. Lots of programs are being and have been planned for the enjoyment of visitors. You can view the programs and also other aspects of Malaysia at Guide to Malaysia (close new window/tab to get back to this page).

Traditionally, photos uploaded via Blogger are hosted at

Sure enough, as reported by Phydeaux3, the photo above is now hosted at

Update 28 February 2007: Previously, the photo stay on the web even if you delete the post or the photo. Now, when you delete the photo or the post, the photo is deleted from the web. This may be good news for those who post a lot of photos and are worried about exceeding the 300MB limit. Another change in New Blogger. Previously, if you delete the photo or the post containing the photo, the photo remains on the web. Now, if you delete either, your photo is also deleted from the web.
