  Vicki,

  Any thing that you place on internet is at a risk of being copied. There’s no sure way of preventing someone from copying an image or text, unless it’s on a private blog and no one has access to it.

  What you can, however, do is watermark your images. That way you will leave your identity on the image, even if it gets copied.

  also don’t put high quality images on your site – scale and compress them – I have a friend that is a Pro Photographer – the joke he has about the images on his site is that you can make a postcard for your refrigerator from his pictures – anything more and you need to contact him
