Oh no! We must know what is happening with you! There must be a way...

I remember that Brainy Lady Alison did some cleaning up on the sidebar to save bandwidth - you could try that, only momentarily maybe?

Typepad and bandwidth.....Last summer I had a scare, too, and got rid of a whole bunch of stuff, then they said their counters were being spammed or malfunctioning or something, and that it never was a concern. A whole bunch of us were really upset and worried and thinking that people were hotlinking and stealing bandwidth, etc. They also said they were not enforcing the limits presently, until "they could offer their customers a reasonably-priced option for storage, etc." I don't think they would shut things down without notice. They seemed to be much more mellow about it than I was. I am still over my limit every month and I went to the higher-grade service, but I'm STILL over and they've never said anything or charged me anything. I think that when these limits were set, they never envisioned some of us having such big readership - and also knitbloggers are much different animals than other styles of blogging. We're much more into the visuals and interaction than any other kind of bloggers, so we're all still feeling our way. (technotards, indeed!)
