Anna, is this code embedded in the picture or on your website? If it's on pictures I would like to add it to mine. I specifically asked my web designer about enabling this when he was working for me and he told me it was a lot of work (read: more expensive) so I didn't do it. But if I can do this myself I want to - thanks for sharing.

I would assume a large company that pays photographers for their photos would have done the same in additon to that that they would have water marked items that they didn't want used on google??? I'm a small person in a large pond of people that create sites for their business' if they need $900 that bad they can try their luck at getting it but won't cause I ain't got it! Anna T-Mobile.
