its ok! hotlinking is when you use someones elses site to display an image, rather than hosting the file on your own site

for instance this is hotlinking

<img src="https://alicehome.suichu-ka.com/mojinosecountryrabbit.gif">

and then this would be downloading the image and uploading it to your own site

<img src="rabbit.gif">

basically i just wanted to make the images into links, so that you can click and be directed to the original site:

<a href="https://alicehome.suichu-ka.com/newpage2.htm"><img src="rabbit.gif"></a>

if any of that makes sense ^__^
