  I just began a blog named “deliscense” with photos I have taken in and around the Delmarva peninsula. How do I protect my photos from being copied and used by others who visit my blog? Also, I have noticed that some others have a “You may purchase” a photo on their blogs, for $ XX. If I wanted to incorporate that onto my blog site, how do I go about doing that? Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you don’t want it to be stolen don’t post it because there is no measure you can take that will universally prevent all content theft. All you can do is attempt to deter some thieves.

  If you use the Duotone theme right click is disabled. It’s not available on any other themes here and will not become available as it creates a false sense of security. Anyone can find instructions on the internet and get around it in less than 20 seconds flat. What’s best is watermarking your images or not placing any images and/or text you don’t want stolen on the internet at all. If you are referring to images this may help http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2007/10/19/watermark-your-blog-images/
