Thinkin' 'bout linkin'

Thinkin' 'bout linkin


Random thoughts upon looking at my StatCounter links referrals:
  1. I gotta remember not to write the name of that pantherish character with the rolling head again. I didn't know it was also the name of a nude model.
  2. I hope you hotlinkers are happy: I had to remove the Bruce Timm Harley and Ivy in the prison shower panels because you can't be bothered to copy and host yourself.
  3. Apparently I get a lot of picture hits for Absolute Sandman. Even though my picture is a photo of book's page in the DC announcements catalogue (about 2/3 of the way down that post).
  4. Gosh, I get a lot of hits for that time I quoted a Joss Whedon joke from a Futurama comic.
  5. Ditto for the cartoon I did of Bender holding Mjolnir, though it's partly my fault for linking to it myself in a comment once over at Comics Should Be Good.
  6. Whenever I get hits or searches towards my blog on a creator's name ("Dan Slott" comes up a lot), I'm always paranoid it's that actual person searching for references to himself.
  7. People are still coming over via the links from Dorian's "Always remember" meme.
  8. Laura/Tegan gives me a huge number of referral links, for which I send heart-felt thanks. I hope that someday during one of my trips to Seattle I'll get a chance to meet her and hubbie-Eric. If you're not reading her blog, especially her ongoing Aquaman story a day project, you're missing a very fun blog.
  9. I can't even imagine what the surfers who get referred to me from the London Walks website think of the non-London, comic-book-heavy majority of my blog.

Should you visit Seattle, we will certainly introduce you to Torvald. I think the Bull and Troll should get along just fine. You should come up to our con some time. That would be fun.

Wow, the hits just keep coming. Some obscure-character fans like me just can't catch a break. :(

I've had the same problems with hotlinkers. To fix it, particularly if it's a big file I want to keep, I'll go in and rename the image file (just make sure you rename it in the old post as well). I'll usually leave nothing in the old image name, but sometimes I'll put a 1x1 white pixel. Occasionally I'll put embarrassing pictures instead and see how long they leave them up (nothing too bad, here's the one I'm currently using).

You can reconfigure the .htaccess file to block hotlinking as well, but I've never been able to do that successfully, and I don't know if you can do that on blogspot.
