Blogging and picture storage and backup

I've been thinking about this for a while. I want some opinions on what fellow card bloggers do. After one has scanned a card and blogged about it, or posted it to some online photo storage/sharing site do you delete the scan from your hard-drive to help free up space? Do you keep a copy of it? Do you copy it to a flash-drive, data disc (floppy for those with older systems), CD-ROM or DVD?

I've been keeping most of the stuff still on my hard-drive partly due to laziness and partly to have a back-up in case something happens online, or I have a brainfart and forget the image is already on the blog somewhere or online somewhere else. But lately I've been thinking of deleting most of what is on my hard-drive and if I have to re-scan something if I need it again.

So what do you all do?

Psyingle Psychedelic Psyeventies Basketball

On 11 February 2012 I got a dozen Bullets cards. I mentioned that on another post. Here is one of the two cards that were lonely for their year.

1974-75 TOPPS BASKETBALL

1974-75 Topps Basketball 143 Walt Wesley - Bullets

Will you check out the afro and the mutton-chop burns on that guy! Also check-out the Psychedelic Sixties/Seventies negative/color/mono-tint background. Sadly it is obvious he is in a photography studio standing in front of a green/blue screen (back then I think it was exclusively blue screen) but still it's a cool looking card.
