title: MVC-3 User-Image Management - Best Practices
body: <p>Developing using MVC-3, Razor, C#</p>
  
  <p>Been searching around and cannot find advice I'm looking for.  My site will contain user-uploaded images (possibly a high number).  What is the best practice for managing these pictures (placement, breakdown into sub-folders, etc...)?  Where do I place them that will prevent them from getting accidentally blown away if I republish my site periodically?  </p>
  
  <p>If there are any good articles or blog posts, that would be helpful.  Also, any advice/tips anyone wants to add would be great.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time!</p>

  <p>Also would like to know what people do to prevent hot linking.</p>
