Here’s some advice. I know that we all hate image leeching. But if you’re going to set your htaccess file to disallow hotlinking, could you please take a few minutes to add popular web-based news aggregators like Bloglines as exceptions? I’m tired of having to toggle sending referrers on and off every five minutes in order to be able to see pictures of Britney Spears’ pussy on The Superficial. Thanks.
(I have to turn sending referrers back on when I’m done because pain in the ass WordPress doesn’t work properly without it. I remember to do so only after typing up an entire post, and clicking publish. Then when I press the back button to try again, the post is gone, and I have to type it out all over again. This just happened for the umpteenth time. If the post is any longer than this, I usually don’t bother. Seriously, fuck you WordPress.)
(Google spell check recognizes the word umpteenth??? Really?)
I find it pretty amazing that you mention this, since (a) I was just cursing The Superficial yesterday and considering emailing them, and (b) I have an entire tutorial on this very subject.

By the way, I’m pretty sure new versions of WP (2.0.2+, maybe?) don’t have that referer crap turned on.

Well, I thought I upgraded recently, but it still says 2.0.2 at the bottom of the screen when I log in. Lazy me can’t be bothered to figure out why yet. I probably just uploaded the wrong files. I’m a genius sometimes.
Nice tutorial, too. Tweaked my htaccess file just a wee bit more. This means that accidental overwriting is imminent.
