A few quick programming notes (as in code, not TV):
- PHP's GD library has some rather annoying quirks, including:
- imagecreatefrompng() doesn't understand Alpha transparencies, it instead just uses a black background.
- imagecreatetruecolor() does understand alpha channels, but uses a black background
- regardless of whatever tricks you try to pull, copying an alpha png to a truecolor image background will not cause an proper merge because the freaking png is on a black background!
- If you want to stamp any and all images being leeched from your site with a sponsor tag, it's pretty easy to do. First add to your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} myspace.com
RewriteRule (.*(gif|png|jgp)$) /stamp.php?i=$1
then, create your stamp.php file.
Feel free to modify that file to append an "image footer" if you like. - Yeah, those myspace folks tend to grab images, but hey, think of them as "ads for you".

Nope. It's more fun to turn them into ads that I can sell for money.
Because money is always fun.

Oooh. ALL of the about 2550 hits in January from various social sites (like myspace) were hotlinks for .jpgs … gnomebondage, eh? Hmmm.
