    Where can I keep static resources in my blog site?
    Community Answer
    Open a draft post in Blogger Blogspot and upload images there. The HTML tab will show you the URL for the image, which you can link to from outside Blogger. Video and audio can be saved and linked to on a Google Sites cabinet page.
