Help?

[mrv3000]

josephides is very very sad. You see, every month huge amounts of bandwidth are being siphoned from her site to places unknown on xanga.com. Unfortunately, her site stats don't tell her exactly where and if you've ever been to xanga, it's quite annoying and user unfriendly.

And another little discovery, apparently there are many blogs over there known as icon collection blogs, where massive amounts of icons/graphics/wallpapers are stolen and hotlinked from *everywhere*. Unreal.

Has anyone ever worked with an .htaccess file before? I tried making one but it bombed - I really don't know what I'm doing and used guides I found on google. All she really wants to do is ban anything and everything xanga since there are a lot of sites that should have access to her stuff.

HELP?

Otherwise she's looking at not only moving all graphics files (over 1,000) but changing all her legitimate links as well - which without the .htaccess file would only be a temporary fix until the bastards hotlink her once again.
