Create Blob Storage for Flags

I am in the middle of importing my lists from SharePoint to Azure for researchlodge.org, it's going really well. Now I need to do my first Blob storage, I am starting with Flags, because several lists will use the Flag images. That is a simple thing to focus on. I already built out a Blog storage for work, so the principles are the same. It's integrating with the tables that I need to get straight, then I will be firing on all cylinders as I import everything. I haven't even started on douglasweb.com yet.

Slightly unrelated, but I need to fix this blog so users will see the most recent post and not an empty page.

So, create a container in a Storage Account for "Flags", then do a bulk import, I suppose. Then write some code. Azure Storage Explorer is even easier than I thought. Just drag and drop from Windows Explorer into the container. You are prompted if items already exist. You can download by choosing a folder, pretty easy peasy. But uploading is super-easy, just drag and drop. Clearly need to format this blog and capture the steps, and make a YouTube video for it.
