What's that? I've never seen that.

You can add relevant links. I've done it for some of my blog reviews of the same items.

Where is that option? You mean on blog reviews, or on-site reviews?

This would be a great idea. Especially if the Resources bit was more prominent, and an option during the writing process. It could be incorporated as an optional part of all templates, with the suggestion that if you want to link to your blog for pictures etc that you do so in the Add Resources tab.

Perhaps even an "upload photos" option for those without blogs? It would need to be moderated, and have a max size limit of course, but it might work. If they do implement uploading photos, I'd have to agree with what Bulma said originally: any section with user-uploaded pictures should default to a closed tab that you have to manually open, so that those who don't want to see the pictures don't have to.

I added a picture as a resource on my latest review, and there's a 48 hr waiting period for getting it approved. Submitted it yesterday morning, no response yet Can we have picture-adding as part of the writing process, since it's something that could definitely affect usefulness votes?

It's a good idea I love personal photos of products because they can tell you the real color/size of the object. Because you all own the digital cameras and you all know how they change the colors, what color to expect when using the flash etc. And you can put some common object next to them to show true size. I have a webhosting but they don't allow any adult pictures and also hotlinking is never nice. EF could have an option to upload like up to 5 pictures to each review and they could be placed inside the text, or better: a gallery like the product pictures themselves.
