  I am now ready to upgrade to premium, and it has occurred to me to ask if any photos I post on my blog cane downloaded (Right-Clicked) ? And if so is there any way of protecting the pix so that this option is NOT available to potential thieves?

  There really is no effective way of preventing people from downloading your images. That doesn’t change with upgrades. Watermark your images and use a copyright notice either in your sidebar on in each post caption.

  Thanks raincoaster. That’s what I figured and, is what I do now. I was just hoping that WordPress had got it together. The code is out there because a number of photographers use web sites that support this feature.

  Many thanks

  Yes, the code is out there, and it is ineffective. I am no hacker, but it takes me less than ten seconds to work around it, and that is why it is on the wane.
