not as cool as the like of Al’s, Pauly’s or your blog, but I’m getting there, after all I’m fairly new to the circle.

The really cool thing is that there’s always something going on if you’re “hanging out” (online) with the poker blogger bunch (Waffles, Garthmeister, Veneno,…) and playing in the poker blogger tourneys (WWdN, DADI, …)

BTW, cool blog. I’ve actually have read it a few times via someone linking to it. I’ll have to throw it into my RSS feeds.

Yeah, I have some .htaccess file stuff in there to block hotlinking but I do have stuff that I want people to be able to use sometimes too. That’s one of the reasons I’ve slowly been moving my non-template images off to Flickr.

That was just an old directory that was from way, way back (2004) before I moved stuff over to WordPress.

On another note: I guess the only way to prevent ppl from not only stealing your content but stealing your bandwidth along with it is to prevent hot-linking in the first place…(then again it might not be worth the hassle if you’re sharing stuff with other sites and/or if your bandwidth is unmetered)…

I appreciate the update. Thanks.

To be honest though, I don’t buy his excuse. He had to cut and paste and create links to the graphics off my site. In other words, he either cut and paste the HTML source or he cut and paste the text and then did a properties on the images to find their location. Either way, he knew damn well were the source was.

I would be more inclined to believe he forgot to put the link. That’s an easy mistake and if the forum software doesn’t allow you to edit your post . . . then that’s something I can buy into. I don’t see any circumstance where he obtained the content and didn’t know where he got it from though.

he put up a source link now on the SitePoint forums…

I thought that this thread on spf looked strangely familiar, couldn’t remember where I had seen it before though (I guess I read too many blogs)…On another note: If you see something like this on the SitePoint forums again, just contact me…I’m not only a fellow poker blogger, but also a Advisor (mod) on the sitepoint forums…
