Try a search on <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=hotlinking&hl=en" rel="nofollow">hotlinking</a>, I'm pretty sure this is the case here. Internet Explorer gives me cryptic error messages for, but with Firefox, it's pretty straightforward: Access Denied. Use Blogger, Hello and their free image hosting is for you, but if you move somewhere else, you have to start from scratch. My solution is to not depend on third party services, ever again. I switched to <a href="http://www.gallery2.org/Gallery2" rel="nofollow">Gallery2</a>, but that of course means I have to modify the code and upload all pictures I ever used on my own webserver or somewhere else. That way I can be sure that they'll be accessible under other 'circumstances', lets say, after moving to another domain etc. What you could do is using a blogger account and their webspace, but redirect your current site to it. Visitors won't notice much of a difference. Hi Joshm

I noticed your post on the Wordpress support site about having trouble linking to photos from your Blogger account. I've been having the exact same problem -- I'm aggregating my students' blogger sites onto one site at www.levjoy.com/orsem, but their photos don't show up and I get the same error message you received. Did you ever find a solution to this? Hi there. I noticed your post on the WordPress support site about having trouble linking to photos from your Blogger account.
