We learn from our own mistakes or other’s mistakes. Here’s Amit Agarwal’s list of 10 common mistakes made by newbie bloggers:

2. We indulge in bandwidth theft by hotlinking pictures, music(mp3) or video files on our blog.

3. Though we credit the owner of the image in our blog posts, we add watermarks or overlay text to the images without permission.

4. We do not disclose the actual source of information. Even if the idea is taken from an offline source (like a print-only newspaper), it should be given due credit in blog posts.

Talking of hotlinking, I’d suggest using imgred to avoid hotlinking. And here’s a good tutorial of “How to avoid hotlinking” using imgred.

BTW, hotlinking does NOT have a hyphen (-)
