Watermarks

I just took all my photos that have been posted on this blog and using a shareware program I just bought put a watermark on each of them, deleted them from each blog post and reposted them- pretty much one at a time (I could have done the watermarks in one big batch but I found that depending on how much I cropped a photo and magnified it that the watermarks sometimes needed to be different font sizes and you couldn't change just a photo here and there in the batch mode). Sooooooo, that was a royal PITA, but it's done now and will be easier to do individually in future postings.

So, why did I go through all this trouble? Apparently people on the internet like to steal images from blogs and then reuse them as their own (or even sell them as their own). I know that this has been happening with my blog because my stat counter software is tracking an enormous amount of image google searches to my blog. I can't do anything about photos that have already been stolen, but at least I can prevent more of it.

Ah, the internet life!
