julesjonesThat cover art illo in the previous post is hosted on my website. I've just looked at my site log, as I do every few days. I had no idea that:
- there were now *that* many websites scraping the LJ recent images/posts feed, or that many people looking at them.
- so many people actually do read one or the other of my LJs (it was cced to my fanfic LJ), or at least have them on their regular reading filter.
And while it had occurred to me that anyone who thinks that their filter names are Super Sekret is operating under a false sense of security, this *really* rubbed my nose in it. I ain't posting examples, but the referral url does give the game away rather.
Fortunately I am a good little netizen and deliberately used a fairly small (in kb) image. It might have done interesting things to my bandwidth usage if I'd been an idiot.
