February 17, 2012 Blogaholic 1 comment

I just used the code below for a client’s WordPress site to remove all the links of her uploaded WordPress images from her posts. I am lazy as hell, y’all know that, and the thought of manually editing out the image links of 200+ posts just makes my head reel. So I took the easy way out, using the awesome functions.php. Thought I’d share, someone might find this code equally [...]

Here I am, just three months later, with a semi-new theme to add to my already growing list of “new looks”.

Aside from spammers, there’s another group of Internet users that we need to protect our blogs from: bandwidth stealers. I guess it’s okay if you’re on Blogger and Google hosts all your images for free, then hotlinking is fine.

When you are self-hosting and paying for your bandwidth allocation, hotlinking [...]

Upcoming Blog Makeover Giveaway

November 7, 2011 Blogaholic 11 comments

Does it feel like Christmas around here or what? I just changed my layout last month, I know, but I can’t help it. I need to make some minor changes in the theme to reflect the coming holiday. I settled on changing three things: the background (cute snowflakes now), the sweet Christmas garland lining the top of the site, and the very lightweight snow effect trick I found on Dynamic [...]
