It's been a long time since I've posted here on Active Rain. I've been wrapped up for countless hours creating my website. Yes I made it myself.....from scratch! Not having any experience what-so-ever with website design I turned to Blue Voda (TOTALLY FREE) Website builder. Although I had a few choice words throughout the process it's finally completed and I have to say if you are like me and feel that you would rather spend money in other areas of marketing your home staging business you should give it a try.
Here it is....http://www.creativestagingworks.com/ i'd love to hear what you think....(maybe lol)
This brings me to the reason for this post, protecting your photos. It's been addressed often here on AR. Theft of images, portfolios being lifted. I myself am torn between what the best way to protect our images and hard work is.
#1 Right Click Disable
By inserting the following html code in your website, anytime a viewer tries to right click on your images to get in an save your picures for their own, the following "Function Disabled" message appears.
HTML CODE: (Copy and paste after the <HEAD> portion of your website)
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--

var message="Function Disabled!";
///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE4(){
if (event.button==2){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
function clickNS4(e){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){
if (e.which==2||e.which==3){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers){
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=clickNS4;
}
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){
document.onmousedown=clickIE4;
}
document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")
// -->
</script>
#2 Watermarking Images
Easily created using photoshop or your fav photo editing software.
#3 Invisible Right Click Disable
This one works by disabling right click with no message diplayed as seen on my contact page of my website.
HTML CODE: (Copy and paste after the <HEAD> portion of your website)
<body onContextMenu="return false">
Experts will say there is no foolproof way to totally protect your content, but for most people (high-tech theives excluded) I think this will do a good job in frustrating the novice from stealing your work.
I'd love to hear which you prefer, or if anyone has other options.
