The Orrin Woodward Web Bloopers

By QBlog in

UPDATE
Orrin finally decided to take my advice and move his images. He also decided to swap the existing images with a humorous "Stop Hotlinking and Bandwidth Theft" graphic. I did not expect that and it shows that Orrin and the gang are learning about the Web. Way to go guys. I'm proud of you. Seriously. That's just the kind of irreverence that makes the Web so cool.

And I should mention, I'm no stranger to the old "Hotlinking" thing. At any given time there are 5-10 images from my sites that are linked on some forum, blog or personal site. It's not that big a deal. Sometimes I pull the old "switcheroo" but mostly I just yank the image, move it or rename it if the linking bothers me. It's also amazing how effective a simple email can be towards resolving any "Hotlinking" issues.

So, I'm glad Orrin and the gang moved the "super secret" graphics from the public arena. I'm really happy to have helped. And that's what it's all about really, people helping people... spreading the knowledge.

God I love the Web. Isn't it great!

Pssst. Hey Orrin. Little tip for you. If you want to suddenly restrict access to your "super secret" content then you might want to make ALL of that content restricted. Or not.

I honestly can't figure out what you're trying to do with your site but based on recent actions my guess is that you don't want the graphics from your restricted How The Money Works page to be publicly available. But that's just a guess. Maybe the graphics don't need to be kept secret? Who knows?

Below I've simply linked to the 4 graphics displayed on the original "How The Money Works" page. The graphics are sitting on the OrrinWoodward.com servers and are publicly available. Access to the graphics is not restricted in any way. There is nothing preventing anyone on the planet from simply pulling up those graphics in their favorite Web browser. Don't believe me? Try it yourself. Just type the URL printed under each graphic into the address bar of your browser and see what happens.

Anyway, Orrin, if this stuff is really supposed to be "super secret" then do us all a favor and restrict access to everything, including the graphics.

Your Web friend,

I'm trying to find out why it costs $235 to join the Team of Destiny and costs $117 to join Quixtar. What do you get with Team of Destiny that you don't get with Quixtar?

There is no prize in being the last critic.
