.htaccess problems

So I edited my .htaccess file to not allow linking to my images stored on my server… And broke the syntax a little bit, completely disabling the ability to view any images on my server at all. I have corrected my error now, so everything should be back to normal. Firefox caching my sites images kept me from noticing the issue until today… =( So for about a week this site has been unviewable for the most of it. My bad.

If your curious, this is the code used to stop people from hot linking  images from my site.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https?://www\.chutography\.com(/(.*)?)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ – [F]

I also created a PermaLink from http://chutography.com to http://www.chutography.com so that they both show up as the same site on search engines.  Here is the code that I used to do this.

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^chutography.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.chutography.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

These are very basic .htaccess features that every site should implement.  Although the Image linking prevents me from using images on my host as avatars and signatures in forums, since they wont have access to the files.  I’ll look into a way to correct this, if I find it I will post it up here.


PixPrice

I started working on an Android application called PixPrice.  This application will enable photographers to provide quotes for photography services right from their Android powered phone.

I plan on adding the ability to manage clients, quotes, equipment, invoices, and payments from the application.

Let me know if you are interested in helping out with the development.

I had a plug-in that was preventing new posts from being posted.  That has now been taken care of.

MTG Pics

I have set up a new site for Magic The Gathering card scans. This site will host links to Magic Work Station, new master base files, and card scans.

The url for the MWS Picture Assistant picture mirror is:

mtgpics.chutograph.com

Please let me know if there is anything else you want on the MTG site.

Thanks.
