Hi keripoiling,
The short answer is that there isn’t any way to prevent someone from taking a copy of your photo. For example anyone can use their printscreen key on their keyboard to copy the window your photo appears in. If you don’t want anyone to take and use your photo unfortunately the only sure solution is to not put it online.
However there are steps you can take to ensure others know the image is yours. Some things you can do to deter people include
– adding a watermark
– including your name as author in the metadata of your photograph
– putting creative commons licensing information into your metadata (best) or alongside your image, and
– putting a notice on your page next to your photo asking people not to use your photo without permissionHope the above helps,
Sabrina

Other than having a completely private blog, you can’t prevent it. What you can do is watermark your photos prior to uploading them and put a copyright symbol on them.

It doesn’t matter. Anyone with tech skills of any kind can get around that. It takes me less than ten seconds. It is not effective.
