Still Fixing - This time Hot Linking

I’ve just learned, it’s good to revise your server settings once in a while.  Last year I remember revising and activitating Hot link protection.  People who indirectly and most of the time innocently steal band width by linking directly to one of your hosted files.  Most of the time pictures.

My little button logo, appears to be popular, I’m flattered.  However, I will ask you to host it on your site from now on.

Due  to heavy traffic,  I ask you to host  the  above  image on your site.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  When you link directly to this image, every time someone loads your page, it sucks down the image from my site.   This in turn creates a DOS attack (Denial of Service).

You’ll notice, any images that I use to promote your sites, are hosted on my site.  I ask you to follow this example.

Thank you
