Ideally I would like to have something that would auto resize images to fit in the post, but also provide access to a full size version for those who want one.
Problem with that is that it requires the image to be uploaded to this server instead of Flickr, Photobucket, or another photo hosting site. Photos take up a lot of space and could fill up the server pretty quickly.

That's why you resize them yourself, or limit the size one can upload. Drive
space is cheap, but it all depends on how the have the server setup. I'm looking at building my own server right now, I am hoping for at least 500Gb of space, if not more.
