What is direct linking?

Direct linking is a serious misdemeanor on the internet. It is when you directly link to an image that is hosted on someone else's sever. Meaning, you don't upload it to server of your own. It might look like this:

<img src="http://just-like-magic.org/image.jpg">

when it should look like this:

<img src="http://yoursite.com/image.jpg">

If you direct link, you would be using my space and my bandwidth that I pay for each month. I suggest you upload the image to your own server, or use a free image hosting server such as photobucket or image shack.
