  What is a hotlink? Does that mean the picture was private? It was the first time I learned how to use pictures through Google and find ones that did not have private use and was supposed to be ‘free and safe to use’…. why did a stop sign appear on my blog statig something about hotlink??

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hot linking amounts to using someone’s image by violating their copyright and stealing their bandwidth which they pay for. Don’t do it! Delete that image now. http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotlinking
