Today, while scrolling my Reading Page, I was greeted by purple boxes containing a message from imgur: "This content not viewable in your region." It's because of stupid new laws in the UK that have also stopped me from looking at fanart on AO3 and many other websites (🙄), and yeah I'm annoyed, but I thought I'd try to channel my annoyance into something helpful!

If you include images in your DW posts, such as icon batches or community banners, are you aware of DW's inbuilt image hosting? I feel like a lot of people are, so ignore this post if that's you, but if you're not... I'd already written the below guide for someone who reached out to me a few years ago asking for help, so I've tweaked it a little and hope it's helpful to anyone who might stumble across it.

Please note: DW-hosted images only display on DW.

Anyone who follows my DW or has ever visited my Internet Archive page may have noticed that all my podfic covers are the same style: a six-panel ‘moodboard’ above a strip of colour featuring the story title. Thanks to a voiceteam challenge about documenting podfic practices, I’m making this post to share my tips and tricks for making similar moodboards! Whether you’d like to put them on the cover of a podfic is up to you. I hope you’ll find something useful here regardless.

Please note: This post involves using images that aren’t copyright free, and I’m not here to give my opinion on that topic. If you don’t like the sound of it, I totally get it, and you might want to give this post a miss.
