I am constantly posting blog items with images, only to find my blog item posted somewhere else, along with the images. I have not found any way to do this in Blogspot, unless I am missing something.

Hotlinking is an interesting paradox: while it does use bandwidth it also brings in traffic. I suspect that even additional bandwidth would cost less than advertising so it can be an economical way to grow blog readership and potentially blog income. :?: What do think about stumblers using the StumbleUpon PhotoBlog It! tool to help their reviews of your blog stand out and send you more traffic?

Thanks :) sikanrong - thats very true however this tactic is used to discourage people from stealing your imagea and your content. As you say, your bandwidth is still being used. However, you can make the hotlinking image very low on quality and filesize so that your bandwidth is reduced. samulli - Glad you got it working, It's a very useful tactic in my opinion, particularly if people are stealing you content. If anyone is having problems with this please let me know :) Kevin Wallace – Forgot to reply to your comment before, yeah that code will stop all domains. Thanks :)

I don't even remember through which link I came here (I have about 15 different websites open at the moment), but I implemented this tactic right away in my own blog. Although I have to say, instead of blocking certain domains, I was rather more interested in protecting only certain of my folders against all external linking. I didn't want to block all of my image folders, because I use some of my images on my own mySpace profile, for instance. Having no idea about this htaccess stuff I was afraid I might scramble my whole page or something, but luckily it worked fine on the first try. :wink: Thanks again for the idea!
