HOT LINKS


Blogging these days can sometimes be hard and finding materials to cover is what makes each blog unique along with a personal opinion.I like to take a look at crazy news and other intresting statics that i find over the internet and getting the images to post on the website can be alot harder since you cant just hotlink from any website.
Hotlink can be a bad thing if you dont credit the site or ask for permition and thats what is happening to me right now. I always blog my topics and i (like everyone else) i use google to find an image that would match my topic, my intentions are not to steal someones image but just to hotlink on someone that dont really care if i hotlink there images. This time I had to hotlink NINTENDOLIFE.COM with the image of the new upcoming game "zeldas spirit tracks" and i was so disapointed and ashamed that i had ACCIDENTLY hot link an image that was not share-friendly.

Even if the same image this site had millions of copies over google images, my shitty LUCK I had to pick a company that was a pain in the ass about keeping there images private. I do understand that its money and space from there servers and i have no intention of paying any $ if i can find friendly sites that would let me share images with them and credit them.

"Lesson learned to any blogger that is going to hot link an image and a product is to make sure the site is hotlink friendly and be sure you credit them if you are posting there article"
Life is good when you blog but im not easy when you don't own your own server or when you people like the big guys cry over an image that everyone else has shared.Im not complaning im just bitching over the fact that it had to happend to me just this ONCE, but like i said "Lesson learned". I will try not to use someone elses bandwith from now on. So im going to rely on photobucket and all those free webhost sites.
