I've noticed that a few people are posting articles in the Multimedia section. Here's a little guideline to help you tell the difference between the two:

Topics that go in the 'News Articles' section:

If a site has written a news article (a full paragraph or longer about Nick) then it goes in this section.
If it has an image, but it is followed by a news article (more than one paragraph of text - it still goes in this section. (a blog site that's giving their opinion is not considered a news article)Topics that go in the 'Multimedia section':

Magazine scans, pictures, & videos. (DO NOT hotlink the image from the site. Just post the link to the site where the image can be viewed)
If a site has a picture with a caption then it goes in this section.
If it's a Blog site that is explaining the evening yet it has 1 or more images - it goes in this section. (It's not considered a news article)If something doesn't fit in these two sections than it goes in the 'Nick Lachey' thread.

More on HotLinking:
Please do not 'hotlink' to any photos unless YOU OWN THE SITE they are located on - or it's a general photo hosting website (i.e. photobucket). Posting URLs to the photos is fine - but don't put the code in to show the picture (that's hotlinking) unless it's your site or a photo host designed for that purpose. (Thanks Rae)

Is it still considered hot linking if you post the source at the bottom after you quote the article?

No. What I meant was...

Someone posts a picture in their thread but instead of attaching the image to the post they use the link of the image from the website and they insert that into the image code "" on here.

Is it considered hot linking if you quote an article from a website and leave the picture(if there is one) in the article as part of the quote?

If the image link is from the website then yes it's hot linking.
