100_anything (I claimed GoF) scattered in there as well. I did a few for some of the bases because I liked them so much. I managed to forget poor Rita in my actual table listing, she must have been in beetle form when I was compiling links...
9 random HP, 5 H/Hr, 4 Dumbledore, 5 V/Hr, 5 Cedric/Hermione

The 'Morsmordre' icon was a happy accident--I had a base I wasn't too happy with so I duped it, flipped it, and stuck it on top of itself, only to discover that when Draco's head overlapped it looked like a skull...the only changes I made to it was to add a snake and the lettering, it looked *exactly* like that when I overlapped it in the first place. *shivers*

Re: icon-y appreciation
-Bandwidth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth)has a lot of different definitions, but for this case, it is a way to measure time spent online (which is really an oversimplification). Every time you load a page (like my journal), you're loading images and text--each image, though, has to come from somewhere. In the toolbar at the top of the page (or at the top of your desktop, if you have a Mac), there's 'File,' 'Edit,' 'View,' etc... In 'View,' you can choose 'view source.' This is the HTML code for the page--and in that code, it tells any web browser that is trying to load the page where to find the images. Each image takes up a certain size (and I'm not very good at explaining the increments of measurement, so forgive me if I don't go into that).
When your computer takes the images from wherever they're hosted so they can display on your computer, it's downloading whatever size they are--and if you're using a private hosting service, they usually record how much is downloaded from you each month. Places like Photobucket aren't picky about that (I don't THINK they are, anyway), but sites like Geocities in yahoo are.
Quoted from wikipedia: In website hosting bandwidth is the amount of information downloadable from the webserver over a prescribed period of time. In essence it is the rate [data/time], but the time in this case is not seconds but rather a month or a week. So this rate is not like 56K or broadband etc which are also bandwidth but are measured per seconds. Web hosting companies often quote a monthly bandwidth limit for a website, for example 2GB/month. If visitors to the website downloaded a total of 2GB in one month, the bandwidth limit would have been exceeded.
Photoshop is an image creation program, and I don't think it allows you to upload directly from it. What you're doing is saving the image on your hard drive (usually in .gif or .jpg form). People can't directly connect to your computer--so what you have to do is upload it somewhere. Livejournal allows you to upload a certain amount of icons to their space (I think), the # depending on what type of account you have. Paid accounts I'm sure help pay for the bandwidth used loading them.
Saved to your hard disk is not hotlinking :) A step by step example of hotlinking would be right clicking on an image, telling it to load in a seperate page, then copying the URL of that page and using that url to display the image somewhere else, like {img src="blah"/}.
Don't get down on yourself--we all have to learn this stuff somewhere! I married a computer science person, that's how I learned it all. Trust me when I tell you it's a lot worse asking someone you have a crush on and who you're worried will think less of you for not knowing than it is asking someone on livejournal! Luckily he was gracious in his answers...
I would be honored if you asked my advice or questions. It makes me feel very special to get to help other people :)
