Hey, I know this guy!

You might want to delay that last payment to your website developer. None of the pics on your site appear.

Hey, a perfect time to illustrate something...

Jerry is a CS client who uses a Content Management System / Blog program called Wordpress. Wordpress is a good fit for Jerry's site, since he writes lots of articles.

However, there's this thing called "hot linking images" that people should be aware of. Jerry's already gotten a note on this, so I'll share with the class.

Hot Linking an image is when, instead of hosting the image on a trusted source or locally, you link directly to someone else's image. Many web masters will be very displeased, because you're basically stealing their bandwidth. If 10,000 people see this forum post, and I have a hot linked image in it, that's 10,000 or more transfers off that person's web hosting.

A solution to this, usually, is to use deny or replacement images to prevent hotlinking. Now, the bad part (for you) is that if you hot link an image... And someone wants to prove a point...

They can selectively have their web server show another image. There are images on the internet that will make you wash your eyes out with bleach. Some things I will never forget.

Site looks great. I'm also interested in who did it! I also sent you an email about attending the course.

Nathan,
The pictures on his site seem to be resident on a photo shot server in a directory under his name. So does that mean there is a problem with their server or did someone zap his directory? I've seen this happen with other sites and never understood the technology! Wouldn't it be just as easy to transfer the picture to your own hosting server?

Another reason why I think of computers as "devil machines." So Nate, does this mean that my pictures don't appear if I post them direct? Or is that only if they try to link directly from here?

[N. A. Corbier Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close N. A. Corbier]

Something at photobucket ate your pictures. For best results, I suggest uploading your photos to your web hosting account, either through the cPanel "File Manager" utillity, or via FTP... And linking there. That way, you know they're there.

Photobucket has glitches at times. I use them too, for personal things, and they tend to piss me off at times.

As far as who did the website... You can feel free to ask Jerry, or direct the firm directly. That firm would be Cityscape Solutions, LLC.

I still love ya.

Hehe... I've been up for 12 hours working on a site redesign. Should be up sometime today, hopefully.

That was completely my foul up here. I went back to photobucket and deleted the pictures because someone accessed my whole library. Not that I have anything personal there, but still... Anyway, Nates skills are not being called into question here. Blame it on me being a non-nerd.

My library of photos is password protected.

[N. A. Corbier Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close N. A. Corbier]

That's one solution, but how do you link to the site without putting your library password in the URL to access it?

I would suggest using an .htaccess file to limit the domains that can view the files to localhost. This prevents hot-linking, as well as other people from randomly viewing your directories.
