htaccess image protection

Protecting your images with htaccess

Did you know you can not stop anyone stealing images from your website but you can protect your images before they are stolen and make sure that they redirect back to anywhere you want them to.

To find out how to implement my technique please read one of the first 3 headings/links in the left column, alternatively click the links below:
