Imgur.com is a popular free image hosting service used by many people. I use it to host images I post on public forums because it's really easy to use. If you're uploading the image as a guest, it generates a one time delete link for you to save somewhere so you can visit that link to delete the image anytime. If you aren't worrying about deleting the image later, you can simply copy the direct link to the image and close the Imgur window. But once you close the window, you are not going to find those details again.

So recently, I uploaded a large image to Imgur and embedded it to a forum and noticed that the image is too large to be displayed in an average screen. My image was covering the whole screen and soon I understood that other users are not going to be happy with what I have done. So I changed my idea to show a thumbnail of the image and give a link to the original image. But I've already closed the Imgur window. So I had no more information about the image.

The only option I had is to create two images, one thumbnail and one original. Then upload the both images to Imgur and embed them separately. But it was a lot of additional work, and I wanted something easy and simple. Luckily, I found their API documentation and there, they have mentioned about different image sizes. It was really simple.

If you want to get different image sizes, you only have to append a single character to the end of the image name as below. Imgur will then generate the thumbnails for you saving a lot of time.

Imgur provides 6 image sizes so you can select whatever the size suits your requirement. The following table shows you the different image sizes available.

Thumbnail Suffix	Thumbnail Name	Thumbnail Size	Keeps Image Proportions
s	Small Square	90x90	No
b	Big Square	160x160	No
t	Small Thumbnail	160x160	Yes
m	Medium Thumbnail	320x320	Yes
l	Large Thumbnail	640x640	Yes
h	Huge Thumbnail	1024x1024	Yes

For example, if your image is located at http://i.imgur.com/12345.jpg, you can get different image sizes as below;

Small Square - http://i.imgur.com/12345s.jpg
Big Square - http://i.imgur.com/12345b.jpg
Small Thumbnail - http://i.imgur.com/12345t.jpg
Medium Thumbnail - http://i.imgur.com/12345m.jpg
Large Thumbnail - http://i.imgur.com/12345l.jpg
Huge Thumbnail - http://i.imgur.com/12345h.jpg

Notice the last character at the end of the image name (before the extension).

Sublime Text is a handy text editor which is also useful as a lightweight IDE. Most of the times, I use Sublime Text as my IDE to edit source codes. But recently I started using it to edit my text documents too. So the first thing I wanted in my text editor is a spell checker. By default Sublime Text provides two dictionaries. But you've to enable it to check the spellings because spell checking feature is not enabled by default.

Here is how you can enable spell checking in Sublime Text.

Go to View -> Spell Check or press F6.

Now Sublime will highlight your misspelled words. You can right click on any misspelled words to see a list of correct suggestions.

Spell check is performed based on the dictionary you've selected. By default you will have two English dictionaries (en_US and en_GB), but if you want additional dictionaries you can always download them from the below Github repository.

Like all the other spell checkers, Sublime Text's spell checker is also not really perfect. Sometimes the suggested words are not the words you expect. But if you are looking for a basic spell check facility, the default Spell check is more than enough :)

If you still want a good spell checker, there's a Github project that check's the spellings through Google. You can see it here : https://github.com/noahcoad/google-spell-check

Finally, it would be a good idea to disable the spell check feature when you are editing source codes with Sublime Text, otherwise it will highlight most of your codings :)

Please feel free to leave a comment if you know a better way to check spellings in Sublime Text. Also share this article with your friends in Google+, Facebook and Twitter if you think this is useful.
