If you are a media person out there and you are new to blogging, take note of what recently happened to KPAM's Victoria Taft. This is what I'm assuming happened: She linked to a photo out there on the Internet without permission, or without hosting it herself, the person whose bandwidth she was using without permission got ticked off, and he swapped out the innocent picture she was expecting for explicit porn.
In any event, there is still not-safe-for-work porn on Taft's blog as of 5:30 this morning, noted on several local blogs yesterday afternoon. I expected by the time I got around to posting this the pic would have been deleted, but no. Victoria, or whoever maintains her blog, wake up! Take it down! Screen shots are being taken linking your name to explicit porn!
Moral of the story: Don't link other people's images. You may lose control of what the image is and embarrass yourself--especially if you're a conservative talk show host.
Via Blogtown, which had it first as far as I can see.
Update: It's finally down, with an apology.










When you regularly blow by the truth, I guess this is illustration you get!
