A great many of the bloggers out there seem to want to hotlink to a specific jpg, an ocelot of all things, that I have on my site.
I know how to prevent hotlinking to all my files, but can it be done for just a specific file? I want to try just one file at first if possible because I am not sure what would happen if I blocked access to all files, I do not understand the concept enough to make an informed decision about it.

Thoughts, Comments,
