Hi,
This frog/toad I took last year and is a very popular hit on my website, I wonder if its hot linked, anyone know of a way of checking? More curious than anything.

Cheers now

Tim

Your web stats page should have a classification that covers it.
On mine it's found under the general heading "referrers" and in the category "spongers". This gives all the pages that other sites have linked to. Google, interestingly enough, are the worst culprits on my site, accounting for over 50% of sponges, mainly for their google photos part.

Interesting - I just did this and finally understand what this ection of my webstats is for.

The vast majority are parts of my website utilising other parts of my website!

Is that a very small frog, or Leonid Stadnik`s hand? Cute shot!

Tim, here is a website where you can check if your site is hot-linked. They also explain what to do to avoid hotlinking.
