You just need a basic image editor (even microsoft paint will work!) You can do something as fancy as a custom logo like professional photographers use, or simply type your name across the picture. If you are using a more advanced image editor (such as Photoshop or PhotoImpact, you can even save your logo as that programs file extention (for example Photoshops is .PSD) and you'll be able to copy it onto your photo quickly and easily every time. Just be careful that your watermark isn't so big a gaudy that it distracts from the photo. If you're going too write all over it, you might as well not be posting photos at all!

I think the best preventative measure it to use a watermark. You are right – you can’t really stop them. I think the best preventative measure it to use a watermark.

Especially because my family wanted to download the photos from the blog, but they couldn't do that either! I have removed the coding and blogging happier. Great idea to put the code in the post for those who do want it. I used the “no right click” code for a while, but like you, I found it to be more of an annoyance than a help.

It's FREE & you keep your photos private, public or give the link to only those you want to have it AND you can have several different albums with their own settings which can be set to locked or unlocked. It's a great program... you may check mine out if you'd like, http://picasaweb.google.com/Sweet.Joni And yes, everything Brent said above is TRUE! "This photo is Copy Righted." That statement in itself will 'usually' detour ppl but not ALL people. You can even include a LINK WITH THAT STATEMENT to whatever site YOU wish to direct people to. ;-) Hope that helps. ~Joni Another idea is “Picasa Photos”.
