~ Tips for safe blogging ~

Hello friends! Something sad that I just read is that another blogging friend has had a lot of her content stolen! When will this madness [crime] end? In the past, I have made posts with tips for we bloggers to protect our content and identities.

'Time for some more tips. Last May, I posted about "mailto:" links and contact forms. In addition to that, here are some more tips:

● Our RSS feeds can be set to show only the text and not the post images. To set this, go to the Settings, then to "other". Where it says "Blog feed", choose "short". None of your blog's images will appear in your blog's feed.

● Link all of your images to their sources. If the source is your own work, then link it right back to your home page. This will also stop them from dragging to the browser. If they do try, they will then just be directed to the source instead of to the image.

In the end, if someone really wants to steal any online infortamtion, they probably can succeed. Hoping that you all find these tips helpful. Comment on this post with any questions. Blessings and safe blogging to all!

Well I can't get the NO RIGHT CLICK to work...when I added it to the end of my blog post and then went to my blog I could still right click.
What am I doing wrong.

Hi Karen. You don't add it to the blog post. You add it to a html gadget in Layout and then place the html gadget on a sidebar or at the lower area of the blog layout :)

Danice, it's nice to know someone is out there helping those of us {me} who don't know what's happening out there in blog land. I had heard of site scrappers - Question: How can you (I) tell if it is happening to your (my) site?
