Why you shouldn’t hotlink images…

Posted by Ben on March 27th, 2007

So, John McCain and a bunch of Presidential hopefuls have set up MySpace pages in order to connect with the oh-so-cool younger voters. It seems that one of McCain’s staffers decided to use a nice-looking template for his page. Said staffer made a little whoopsie though - they linked back to the template designer’s images. For those not familiar with web design etiquette, this is generally considered to be in poor taste - you’re stealing another guy’s bandwidth.

Hilarity ensues.

McCain loves the hot girl-on-girl action, apparently.

Don’t hotlink images.

Class dismissed.
