I don't understand how people can hotlink these days.
When you're designing a website, you nearly always have to take the pics from your PC. If they come from the internet, you can't just insert them from another person's site. It's impossible. When you go to save your site, in the editor, it will always ask you to save the pic. So how are people doing it?
