Slick. I am using attachment_fu for chapbook covers and avatars. I
just swapped out my storage statements and it looks like it's working
pretty auto-magically. The only thing I didn't anticipate is that pre-
existing filesystem storage images wouldn't link and display after I
modified the storage statement. Heads up on that to everyone.
Good stuff, though. I like it!
