Add images to items in custom list in Sharepoint 2007

Had a requirement to include images to a custom list (along with single-line and multi-line columns) in Sharepoint 2007 server.
There were around 100 items to be added and wanted to find a work-around than adding as attachments to the respective items.

Created a standard name format for the images Eg Name1, Name2 etc in the harddisk
Created the custom list with the required columns and for image created Hyperlink or Picture column and selected the format for image as Hyperlink.
Create a picture library in the site.
Opened the picture library in Windows explorer and copied the images to the Picture library
The image url now would be http://<siteurl>/<listname>/<imagename.imageformat> for eg - http://xyzsite.com/Piclib/Name1.jpg
With a little of formatting in excel the column with the url's can be created.
Edit the list in datasheetview and copy-paste the url row to Image column, in the list
If required, can change the Image column format to Picture and it would display the image along with the other columns.
