How to Link to Us & Share Our Articles?

If you like our articles, images or videos you are welcome to link to them. All we ask is that you give proper credit. However, please do not hotlink to our images or videos!

Bandwidth-theft or “hotlinking” is direct linking to a web site’s files (images, video, etc.). An example would be using an image tag to display a JPEG image you found on someone else’s web page so it will appear on your own website or blog.

Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transferred from a web site to a user’s computer. When you view a web page, you are using that site’s bandwidth to display the files. Bandwidth is not free! Web-hosts charge based on the amount of data transferred. If a site is over its monthly bandwidth, it’s billed for the extra data or taken offline.

A simple analogy for bandwidth theft: Imagine a random stranger plugging into your electrical outlets, using your electricity without your consent, and you paying for it.

HOW TO LINK TO IMAGES & VIDEOS

If you would like to share our images or videos on your forum or blog, download them to your own computer then upload them to your web-server. Then link back to our site to give proper credit. If you have any questions about the process, just ask!
