SHF #11: The Celestial Coffee Edition »

Uh, open the pod bay doors, Hal…

Where are the pictures, you ask? Where’s the Belly-banner? Well, good question. Someone was snurtching bandwidth from us by hotlinking to a photo, so I went into my control panel and tested out a little tool called “hotlink protection.”

Apparently it’s protecting me from myself, and it doesn’t know how to deactivate. As in, I’ve deactivated it, but the photos are still all gone. On the server, yes, but invisible to visitors. All that, and Chopper got called into work on SciFi Friday! And I have glorious Sugar High Friday photos to show off… if only…

So, check back soon. Send sympathy cards. I’ll try and get this puppy working again shortly. If not, I’ll just have to work on my food writing descriptive skilz, eh?

Updated to add: Well then there now. Apparently the images are working. On. Every. Browser. But. Mine. It’s an evil plot, I tell ya, designed to say “Hey, Miz D, what is up with all this food blogging? Go write yer durn novel!” Yes, Mom.

and another update: Problem solved! Woohoo! Oh, wait. Now I have to do a post and photos while Chopper’s at work. Dammit all.

…and now you know everything you need to know about a typical Friday night at Casa Belly-Timber. Party animals, all of us…

    actually i still don’t see any pictures, on either Firefox or IE… just empty boxes, empty little boxes, little boxes, made of ticky-tack, and they all look the same… oh wait, that’s something else entirely… LOL

    Oh great. Now I have that song stuck in my head… Argh! Make it stop!

    sorry… it’s the theme song to this new Showtime show ‘Weeds’ and it was in my head, then i saw the empty boxes on my screen and it just fit… but now you’ll never fix the pictures because i stuck a song in your head and it drove you crazy… LOL

    Ha! Figured it out! My new version of Zone Alarm disabled private header info for your site, enabled it and the pictures are back… and downright lovely pictures they are!

    no song today, it’s my present to you… :-)

    Oh ha! And here I thought you were just singing for the fun of it. I managed to disable my own Belly-Timber banner in livejournal when I set my hotlink protection. Silly me.
