One of my bloggy friends posted some very useful information a few days ago and I thought I'd pass it along to you. If you're like me, you've had some concerns about other people snagging pictures you've posted and using them for other purposes...mostly not positive ones. As you know I love posting pictures of my girls, but I don't want to take any chances that they might end up in the hands of the wrong people. Well, there is a way you can prevent third parties from right clicking on your photos. All you have to do is go here and follow the simple instructions...problem solved! Afterwards, if you try to right click on any of your photos, a message box will pop up that says "Function Disabled". I assure you...if I can figure it out, so can you!
Don't worry, you can thank me later! :) Have a FANTASTIC day!

That is really awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!
oh, i'll have to look into that! thank ya, kindly! :)
April, I just enabled that last week and I love it!
The only problem for me is I use Google Chrome and it also disables it for me, so I can't look at code sources and info on my own blog!
Yeah, I'm geeky like that and like to look at my HTML! :P
Cool!!! I just added that on my blog! Thanks for the link!
Great info! Thank you!
Blessings!
I'll check it out...although I can't imagine why people would take my pictures : ) I am not much of a photographer! Thanks for the tip...I'll pass it on to my sister in law too as she has a photography site. She might know this as she is more tech savvy than me. As are most people : )
Have a great day!
This is good but unfortunately doesn't really stop anyone...just delays them if they really want it. The "print screen" + paint gets around that.
I think if you put anything out there on the web, you're taking some kind of chance. And you KNOW how many photos I share, lol!!
Thanks for sharing this April. I will check it out.
Warmly, ~Melissa
Thanks for sharing!
oh thanks for sharing this!! I sometimes wonder about people taking my pictures.
COOL! I'm so glad you posted this. Stuff like that really freaks me out too. I'll try it. Thanks for sharing.
You can also put your name on bottom of photo as well. :)
Awesome little secret April... Thanks for sharing!
WOW! I just did this and I didn't need a Master's degree in technology either. Thanks so much!
I like to open links in new tabs by right clicking so I must confess that this little trick annoys me. But I totally understand the need to protect your photos :)
I just did this a few weeks ago. I feel much better about putting pics on my blog now.
Very useful info!! Thanks!!
Very useful - I just protected my blog:) Thanks, April.
Done! Thanks so much!
Oh my goodness... I didn't know people could do that! Thanks for the tip, April~ I'll definitely click on this and protect my "stuff"!
Just fyi, sweet friend... it will stop a total novice (or maybe a relative who wanted to download that cute photo of the girls), but it's just a speedbump for anyone who really wants that pic. If they LEFT click on it, it opens in a separate window and can then be right-clicked. Just saying... that you are still at risk. So... watermark... fill in your EXIF data... and post the smallest size you can get away with and still retain decent quality.
Great tip...thanks.
Thanks, April!
I would have never thought about that before. THANK YOU! I'm off to do it right now!
