Bandwidth leachers are on the prowl again…after all those RSS readers blew up the last time I tried to do something about this problem I decided to be nice and make my rules much less stringent…but apparently that just encourages more direct linking, so I’ve made it harder again.
Please do me a favor and post in the comments if you don’t see a lovely picture of Nicole Kidman below. If you instead see my redirect image, let me know where you’re viewing the site from and I’ll do something about it.
The luscious Kidman picture appeared in my Google Reader feed.
Excellent. Mission accomplished then. :)
Finally you fix that shit! I’ve only read your blog from Goog Reader and it always irked me!
Bloglines doesn’t show anything, but I’ve been meaning to switch to Google Reader anyway.
I just created a Bloglines account…apparently that doesn’t like the relative paths I use for images, so they don’t show *any* images. They’re on the whitelist, so I’m not blocking images from them.
That’s just weird.
The image upload script I use creates relative paths…not much I can do about that. I’ll look into it, but it’s doubtful there’s anything I can do.
The “stealing bandwidth” one shows up for me. I view it here:

Ecks, try it now. I added syndicated.livejournal.com (but *only* syndicated, since LJ is a pretty big leech source).
Hey don’t bust your hump over their inability to handle things properly. Like I said, it’s a good reason for me to finally jump ship. Now, just to take a weekend to weed through my feeds…
Works now :). If you want to make it even more restricted, you could probably do syndicated.livejournal.com/loonyblog. Thanks!
