Thanks but on my Admin page its not.

Hi Dave sorry for late reply. Thanks so much for all your thoughts and advice, most helpful. Meanwhile I hope you’ve had a great Christmas and best wishes for the New Year!

cheers

Thanks for the suggestion Dave, I am clueless on the technicalities of web design so its great to have that concept mentioned as a possible option I can consider. A friend also suggested Squarespace as a good option for creating one’s own site tho I have not looked closely enough to find out if any of their options offer flash or not, but perhaps it does not matter too much if I can use the same measures which you have helped me with on my blog to protect images on a HTML based website?

cheers

Hi Dave firstly thanks for your kind words I’m glad you like my work. I had someone make the site for me totally in flash so that the images cannot be stolen. It does however have the disadvantage of not being self-updateable by me. In fact its been on my list of chores for some time to replace the site with one I can update as none of my recent work is now represented there.

Now to the question at hand, I find that with my Mac I can alt-click the image on the blog and it instantly downloads, – not very secure! As you say you can also click the image first and then alt-click it for the same result.

But…I edited the image as per your instructions and now the problem is solved! Thanks so much! Now (or sometime soon!) I can crack on and write more blog entries which I’ve been putting off for months due to not wanting to put images up which can be easily pilfered.

best

Hi thanks for that. When you say disabling plugins are you referring to plugins within my blog? Because if so then then are are no others activated at the moment. My site is here if it helps: https://simondetreywhite.com/wordpress/

I’m not massively techy so please explain in full! ??

Simon

Hi James, many thanks for replying there are two blogs running and I’ve now found my self-hosted one now at https://simondetreywhite.com/wordpress/ so that’s a relief!

cheers

Simon

Great, thanks!

Simon

Brilliant thanks Shane! I’m a newbie to this and am trying to get my head around the relative complexity of .org after the ease of .com; I did not want to change but was forced to as I need plugins for content security

Simon

Hi macmanx many thanks for that, it almost seems easy!
