Those of you who use Bloglines or an RSS feed, or who access my site or blog in some remote way, may have experienced some weirdness yesterday and this morning. I’ve been trying to work around 1) a problem with porn spam comments in Coppermine and 2) MySpace users sucking my bandwidth (bad!). Problem 1 was fixed, with just a minor glitch, yesterday.
As for Door Number 2, I tried directly editing my htaccess file, but that didn’t seem to work. My host provides a way to edit htaccess in their control panel, and that seemed to work too well, because it blocked image linking by sites like Google, which I don’t want to do. I think I’ve got it sorted out, now, but I will have to add link protection exceptions manually. I’ve added Google Images and Bloglines, but there may be other aggregators that I’ve missed. So, if you are suddenly unable to see images, please let me know, so I can fix the problem.
