Hotlinking My Images
Its obvious Ive been really busy as 12 days later I'm just picking up from where I last left off!
Hotlinking
My site bandwidth usage has been huge the last few weeks. Only now have I got round to fully investigating why. Obviously the site gets alot of daily visitors and many of those visitors have there own webspace for example via MYSPACE, and it turns out many of these people like some of the Michael Jackson images hosted on my site!
Not only that, but they like the moving gif images, which are actually huge files and use alot of bandwidth from my site alone, let alone being on other peoples.
Not being to tech minded, or when I do find a technical solution its either doesn't work or wasn't designing for my sever, typical! I'm having to go through my new site stats and workout website offenders and the worse image offenders.
Hotlink is actually a form of bandwidth theft. Not that the people doing it probably actually realise this. In a way its flattering that they like the images from my site.
The moving gif images were a great way to bring some life to certain pages, for example I used them on my Michael Jackson dance page to show the moonwalk in motion. Anyway, I think some of these pages could be improved by replacing the gifs with relevant YouTube videos or similar and they don't use any of my bandwidth! :)

Happy Birthday Michael, my son was born on the same day.I wish you the best that life has to offer.
I've been a fan of yours through
the years and my children have too.
We love you Michael and are looking forward to you performing
at Madison Square Garden, again.
God bless you and keep on doing
what you do best.
