Website listing addresses and aerial photos of celebrity homes comes under scrutiny
      11/10/09 05:34 AM

Here is an article from the LA Times delving into privacy issues posed by posting publicly available aerial photos of celebrity homes:

I saw that article this morning. Interesting stuff!

How did you get your URL above from the LA Times to appear as just one link? Most of the time when I post a URL from the LA Times into a comment, the "commas" screw it up and the whole thing isn't underscored. Did you surround it in single tick marks to get the whole thing to appear as a link? Or what?

I wish I could say I did more than cut and pasted it. I think mic1us might have performed some VGT magic on it.

I just put the entire link inside the url tags (not exactly magic). If you want to get the whole thing to appear as a link, select URL under Instant UBB Code below and paste the link into both of the pop ups boxes you get. As for comments the only way I know of to get a link that works when you click it is to use http://tinyurl.com/ or http://bit.ly/
