I run a dog fitness website called 1 Fit Mutt as a hobby. Recently, I was having a look at some backlinks to 1 Fit Mutt and found several instances of image hotlinking. Now, I would think that in this day and age most bloggers would know that hotlinking just is not a polite thing to do - especially if they are running a website about blogging, indicating that they should be quite Internet-social-etiquette-savvy, at least to an extent.
