Hello SDLP Youth… How are you?

It was nice to get a link from the SDLP Youth web site.

I only got it because I linked to a video on YouTube where two Canadian radio comedians prank Sarah Palin – and the youngsters in the SDLP saw it (-and apparrently, that’s the kind of thing the SDLP Youth enjoy!).

Quick lesson in “image etiquette” on the interwebs.

If you’re going to use an image from someone elses site (e.g.: mine) – as long as you’re sure they won’t have a problem with it, of course, there’s two things you should do.

1. Download it from their site, upload it to your own – meaning you’re using your own bandwidth, not theirs.

2. Credit them for the image.

Thanks on both these counts to the lovely lecraic.

Boo hiss! on both counts to Amanda’s Growing Pains. Here’s a screenshot. Her blog entry DID have a picture looking like THIS in it:

… and okay, granted- that’s not MY original photo, but it’s hosted on my server and she directly linked to it, using my bandwidth (albeit a small amount) – so I changed the file so it looks like this:

(I also posted a reply there linking her to here). I guess that’ll show her…

It’s nearly 3 weeks after the event, I know – but this one kinda slipped by me… We all knew Blogorrah was pretty dead anyway (and some of us had stopped caring, to be honest), but now it looks like the site really is definitely gone for good…

Why? Well, the domain blogorrah.com expired on February 2nd at 2.13pm and wasn’t renewed by the famous celebrity obsessed bloggers with the caustic wit and unusual charm (… oh dear!), so was quickly snapped up by some cybersquatting company who are sitting on it and turned it into this:

Sad indeed…

It’s not just the final nail in the coffin, mind you … it’s the final flower placed at the gravestone after the last sod of dirt has been patted down, after a tonne of it has been thrown over the well varnished, well filled and fully nailed shut coffin, which has been lying six feet under for many a month. Or something like that, anyway…
