GEEKS ONLY PLEASE…

This is geek & latin to a layman… so anyone who doesn’t understand @least some html, please don’t stress ur brain in this.

A recent travel thru the LifeHacker brought me to a method to incorporate a file into a link. Using this method, we can convert and encode a binary file into a web-link which can be understood and displayed correctly by a browser. This is done using a URI called data: used in this way data:image/jpeg;base64,base_64_encodedfilecomeshere

Uses? Lots actually… for a beginning, u don’t need to upload ur pics to any other site, u can directly add them to the url(or in this matter uri) as text data! Which means data storage within a web page or blog entry! Post images or files to forums that allow url posting, sneak attachments past grumpy email filters… ;

Lots more to read here…
