Jake, what’s the best sitemap plugin to use?
Can you post an example of a site that uses it?

Doc, this doesn’t look like a WP site. What theme?

I am using the default 20/11 theme for 3.2.1.

I’m not sure what wp_list_pages() is.

No luck, but thanks for trying! What’s your blog?

Turns out, the character I want isn’t in this list

Thanks. I will compare both queries the next time I purge, right now my DB is cleaned out.

Did you ever get an answer to this?

The rule for all sites is that hotlinking is legal, and hosting is illegal. End of discussion. If you do not understand this still, please re-read the thread. For wiki, I already stated that either one is acceptable. No need for that link, if you actually read my post above it. Thank you again for trying to help.

Where do you get the idea that hotlinking is theft of services? You are making this connection in your mind. Or simply assuming it’s true. You have not proven anything except that it’s “poor form”. I have seen nothing about it being illegal, however. Unfortunately, this is turning into a big waste of time. I am in the process of replacing my images to wiki, and contacting site owners. I do thank you for the help.

Ok, your #2 and #3 above make no sense to me. I am talking about wiki commons. Why would this policy vary by image? Wiki explicitly states you can either host yourself or hotlink. So, what “permission” are you even referring to in #2/#3 ? By definition, I have permission. That is the entire point.

Sorry, but the links you provided are not “law”. They are just bloggers using the phrase “bandwidth theft”, and explaining what hotlinking is, just as you have done. Yes, please pull up a Lexis/Nexis case where hotlinking is illegal. I have not seen a shred of evidence that hotlinking is illegal (rather than poor form) Do you even understand the difference?

Also, I have read “Controversial uses of inline linking”. Please show me where it says that hotlinking is illegal.

Sorry, but I am starting to think you don’t know how to actually read and/or know nothing about what “laws” even are.

Thanks, I will try to replace as many images as I can from wiki commons. What’s the best way to implement this? Do I need to credit wiki commons? Or, just save the image and host it myself, saving wiki the bandwidth ?

The article doesn’t address bandwidth theft anywhere. While it may be poor form, can you cite a source that says hotlinking is illegal? Also, I have been advised here to hotlink and provide a back link. Seems like splitting hairs to me. I’d prefer to host myself, but don’t want to do anything illegal, first and foremost.

Again, since people refuse to read the link, this discussion has hit a dead end. I do thank you for your time on this.

I will follow the advice given by esmi, which is to link, and use the source’s bandwidth. However, this is justified by adding a hyperlink on the image back to the source. While this makes little sense to me, as I have unlimited bandwidth, this appears to be the approach suggested by esmi and wiki. This is also the only legal way to do it, as copying the images is illegal, while linking is not, despite the latter being doubly damaging to the source. Ironic.

I will also look under some open source images, and switch out as many as possible. What are the best places to look for open source images?

esmi, no you actually can’t. That is my entire point. One is illegal, while the other isn’t. Weird, I know. Read the wiki link I posted.
