Protect your photographs on the net

Most people don’t need to worry about others stealing their photos. But professional photographers do. Pros can take numerous steps to protect their work online. But there are ways around most, if not all, of them.

First, you can disable right-clicking on your Web pages. You put special JavaScript in the page’s header. But, JavaScript can be turned off. You can put your images behind a layer of transparent GIFs. But anything that you can see on the screen can be copied with the Print Screen feature.

I like to use watermarking. Most photo-editing programs will insert a watermark for you. If yours won’t, try IrfanView. For more on these methods, read the recent tip on my site. If these are important photos, consider copyrighting the images. You can learn more at Copyright.gov, or consult with a copyright attorney.

A fun diversion

Sometimes, the simplest questions can be the most difficult.

For example, it should be easy to list the most commonly used English words. After all, we use them day in, day out.

But, when put to the test, you will likely struggle to name them all. If you don't believe me, visit today's Cool Site.

You'll have 12 minutes to list the 100 most commonly used words. It will really force you to think!

Once you finish, check out some of the other games. You'll find similar games on a wide variety of topics. It's a great way to stimulate your brain.
