Many website owners have problems with people directlinking. Its a big problem and can cause sites to shut down. But many people who do direct-link don't no that they are doing anything wrong, because they don't understand the problem- so in this tutorial i'm going to explain to you what it is.
What it is
Direct linking is when you insert an image onto your site using the original URL without uploading it to your server first. Lets say you wanted to use this email icon on your site, . To direct-link, you would left click on the email icon and select propeties in the menu that pops up. Then a grey box pops up and there is a Panel that says: "URL" on it. Next to it theres the URL for the email icon. So if you were to copy that URL and use it for a graphic on your site that would be direct linking. You can have a look for yourself using the email icon but please don't actully use the image URL.
Whats so bad about that?
Okay, so you might think that this direct-linking it pretty harmless- and yes it is for you, but not for me. You see every time you direct-link an image it uses up space on my site- and the bigger the image the less space for me! Get it? Direct-linking is a very selfish thing to do. People who have domains have too pay for the space and the URL, so if you direct link thats basically me paying for you! Sure, if I had unlimited banwidth (space) I would let you direct link, but I don't. Neither do other sites, so next time you try to direct link a doll from dolliecrave think about whos space you are using up!
Hotlinking? Bandwidth Stealing? Image Linking?
Hotlinking is just another name for Direct-linking. Bandwidth Stealing is also just another name for direct-linking. but I perfer to use direct-linking, Bandwidth stealer sounds a bit harsh seeing as many direct-linkers don't know they are actully stealing and doing something wrong. Image Linking is when the owner lets you direct-link the image, so if I gave you the code for my button, you would really be direct-linking the button but I said you could, therefore Image-Linking is what that would be called- its much more polite.
The Alternative
Its not fair that I just tell you to stop direct-linking without giving you an alternative so here it is... try doing this thing instead of direct-linking:
~When you left-click on the image, instead of clicking "propeties" click "save" or "save to computer" or whatever. When the image is saved to your computer upload it to your server (matmice, bravehost, freewebs or whatever).
Image hosting
Image Hosting is where a site hosts your images for you, so if you don't have space left with your server.They have unlimited bandwidth/space. The following sites are Image Hosts:
Photo Bucket
Tiny Pic
Image shack
The Image Hosting
Free Image Hosting
Are people direct-linking from you?
Ok, always be nice to them. Tell them politely to take down the images and explain to them what they are doing wrong. Remember to be nice, they will only get mad if you abuse them. If they refuse to take the direct-linked content down delete the image/content from your server and upload it again as something else. Of couse you could do it the sneaky way and delete the content then upload a bigger, more abusive image/content and save it as the same filename. You can report them in the Jail 4 Stealers aswell.

A boy was sitting on a park bench with one hand resting on an open Bible. He was loudly exclaiming his praise to God.
"Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God is great!" he yelled without worrying whether anyone heard him or not.
Shortly after, along came a man who had recently completed some studies at a local university. Feeling himself very enlightened in the ways of truth and very eager to show this enlightenment, he asked the boy about the source of his joy.
"Hey" asked the boy in return with a bright laugh, "Don't you have any idea what God is able to do? I just read that God opened up the waves of the Red Sea and led the whole nation of Israel right through the middle."
The enlightened man laughed lightly, sat down next to the boy and began to try to open his eyes to the "realities" of the miracles of the Bible. "That can all be very easily explained. Modern scholarship has shown that the Red Sea in that area was only 10-inches deep at that time. It was no problem for the Israelites to wade across."
The boy was stumped. His eyes wandered from the man back to the Bible laying open in his lap. The man, content that he had enlightened a poor, naive young person to the finer points of scientific insight, turned to go. Scarcely had he taken two steps when the boy began to rejoice and praise louder than before. The man turned to ask the reason for this resumed jubilation.
"Wow!" exclaimed the boy happily, "God is greater than I thought! Not only did He lead the whole nation of Israel through the Red Sea, He topped it off by drowning the whole Egyptian army in 10 inches of water!"

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create whom you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.
Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold you head up because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create you own life and then go out and live it.
"If you take your eyes off your goals, all you see is obstacles."

A married man had a small box under his bed, that he had told his wife never to open. One day she was so curious that she broke down and looked in it anyway. She found two beer bottles and $5,000 in cash.
The next night while they were lying in bed, she asked her husband about the beer bottles.
After stammering around, he finally answered: "They're for every time I've been unfaithful to you."
Initially, she was upset but she thought to herself: "Two is not so bad."
But then she remembered the $5,000 in cash and asked him about that.
"Oh, that?" he replied. "That's the money I made from recycling all the other bottles."

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's roommate Sarah was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between John and his roommate and this only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Sarah and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Sarah came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle,". "You don't suppose she took it, do you?".
"Well," said John, "I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."
Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which read: "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Sarah, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Sarah. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom."

1) When they play fight with each other we laugh but inside we're thinking how immature they look. 2) No matter how many times they tell us we're better we always compare ourselves to their ex girlfriends. 3) PMS is an excuse! 4) When we say we wanna talk we want someone to listen...not to smile nod and agree with everything. 5) We're NOT expensive....even the smallest gift or the tiniest gesture is good enough to please us. 6) NEVER say any girl looks hot....even a TV star, when you're around us. We pretend it doesn't bother us but you should hear what we tell our friends. 7) When we ask you for an opinion on something we want an honest one! Not you just saying what we want to hear. 8) If we tell you we don't want to talk to you we usually mean it...so back off for a while! 9) No matter how many ex girlfriends you've had before you BETTER treat us like the most important! 10) Lie to us and we'll find out =) 11) Girls talk... when we do stuff with guys the first people to know are the girl's friends, not the guy's friends. 12) Baggy pants that hang down past your butt are NOT attractive! 13) You may look cool with that skateboard but don't try to show off, its not impressive. 14) As the Spice Girls once sang: "If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends"! 15) Always remember that our friends come before you...so deal with it! 16) When we mention cramps if you don't want to hear about it then say so... don't pretend like you care. 17) Don't bother taking us some place fancy for a date... we would much rather just go to a movie and the beach. 18) If you're not a virgin don't flaunt it! It can be intimidating to girls who are a virgin. 19) If you think a girl likes you, ask her best friend. If she says "I don't know" then she likes you! 20) Don't get your friends to ask us out for you... its so annoying. 21) If you plan to break up with us do it on your own, we'll respect you for that afterward. 22) If you say you'll call us then call us! We hate waiting! 23) We always think we're right and even if we know we're not we'll argue till we are... so don't even bother to start an argument, you know who will win. 24) When you try to be macho its annoying. 25) We don't care how many girls you've made out with. 26) We don't care about people like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Love Hewitt or Sarah Michelle Gellar, and we don't care how hot you think they are. 27) We think its cute when you go to the mall with your mom. 28) Shy guys are cute...we like cute. 29) Flowers don't fix everything. 30) If we say we're washing our hair....we're lying.
