Wheeee....this is fun, so far anyway. We'll see how fun it is when I get to the sleeves...of which, you know, there should be two.....
#2 In The All About Me List:
Only two people in "3D" know about this blog. My partner, Em, and my dealer...I mean, LYS owner, Jasper. Actually, Jasper's sister Elizabeth probaly knows as well. However, I don't think they read me unless I send them a link to the blog. So really, it's only Em.
My children have no idea that I blog. My friends, the women in my dance classes....even my troupe! My oldest friend on earth...does not know. No relatives know. No one that I work with...although the IT guy here may...since I regularly post from work...but I don't want to think about that right now.
Nope...this is my little haven...my safety net....my zone. Yup...y'all have wound your skeins so tight, you've landed in ...**insert Rod Serling's voice here**

Hey, let's see a pic of that Rogue... I am about to swatch mine. :)
About bandwidth (forgive me if you've heard all this before): When you use the hyperlink function you are posting a "doorway" to another website. When someone clicks it, off they go. No stealing... in fact, any site that keeps track of how visitors are finding their site should be stoked that you are sending people their way.
But! If you post an *image* on your site and the code says something like: img src ="someone else's site/someone else's file.jpg" then it is trickier. Everytime someone looks at your page, blogger has to hit "someone else's" page to grab the image. So your viewer is using bandwidth on "s.e.'s" server just as if they were on that other page. If you are the only one to link to the image, no big deal. But it's like picking flowers in the woods... if everyone did it, we'd be screwed. "S.e's" server would be get hit everytime that image appeared anywhere on the great and kooky web, and s.e. would have to pay for it.
(It is worth noting that some folks actually want you to "hotlink" their images... If they have advertisers, it makes it look like they have lots more viewers. Most knitbloggers don't have advertisers however, so when in doubt, don't.)
To prevent this, whenever you want to put an image on your page (button, clip art, ahem... *Rogue picture*, whatever) you should save it to your own server, then post it.
I hope that helps. :)
