Sounds like a good place to put it.

I think people ARE tired of the inflexible fixed templated positions  
but that doesn't preclude being able to use images outside of editors  
like FCKeditor. The idea to escape from templates isn't a bad one.

Couldn't we just add images in some shorthand text format (maybe  
extending BBCode) that pointed to an uploaded image asset that the  
user has uploaded to their own personal filecabinet? and images  
uploaded during a blog item creation process are added into a default  
file cabinet?

eg. [img asset=assetid, align=left|right|center]
