Hotlink just means that you put the URL of an external source into the "src" attribute of an <img> tag, e.g.
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Titan-crystal_bar.JPG/300px-Titan-crystal_bar.JPG"; /> Because it's not the server of the website that loads this url, but the users browser it is a bit difficult to see if an image is actually hotlinked, although it can be prevented. -- Hay _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
