Default How to make your photography website more accessible.

What I perhaps should have added is something about how your web
server can be configured not to serve your images via direct links
when they are placed on other sites.


That would be useful, although it would have also necessitated
mentioning the 'darker'side of the web that's less altruistic.


I could outline, in great detail, how Apache's mod_rewrite can be
configured to block outside sites from snagging your images, but I
haven't met many photographers who are also server administrators and
I wonder how helpful that would be. Still, I suppose it bears
mentioning.


You could be helpful by talking about the pros/cons of various
blocking options within the Apache cpanel web interface, as that's an
easy enough tool for general use.
