I often get really simple requests, ones that can be answered in a couple sentences. Here are the top three.
1) How do I stop people from stealing images from my blog?
A: There is a way to right click protect all the images on your blog- which prevents most people from stealing your images. However having your images on the net there is no way to protect them 100% from piracy. Here how you Disable Right-Clicking:
1. Copy the code in the box on Dynamic Drive.
2. Go to your page elements page (dashboard/design/page elements)
3. Click on ‘add a gadget’.
4. Pick ‘HTML/Javascript’.
5. Paste the code that you copied in step 1 into the box. You can change the words ‘Function Disabled!‘ to whatever message you’d like to display when someone right clicks on your blog. Make sure to leave the quotation marks!
6. Save.
2) I would like to know how to backup my blog- how do I do this?
A: it’s pretty easy- go to your Settings/Export Blog/Download Blog/Save
this only saves your written posts, not scheduled posts or your blog template for design elements.
If you ever want to import your blog go to Settings/Import Blog/Find the document you exported/Import Blog. Depending on how many posts you have this can take some time so be patient.
3) How to I backup my blog template?
A: this is something that is done very easily- I recommend backing up your template whenever you are making changes to your template. To back up your blog design go to dashboard/design/edit html. At the top of the page click backup full template to upload the backed up template choose the browse/upload option at the top of the edit html page.
To back up the items in your sidebar:
Go to your blog’s page elements page. Click on edit for each gadget. Copy and paste the codes/text into a Word or Notepad document. If it is a picture/image, make sure you have one saved on your computer.
To backup your header:
View your blog. Right click on your header. Click on “Save Image As”. Save.
Have any blog questions that you’d like answered? Please be sure to ask them in the comments and I will be sure to address them in a future post.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this information for us! As I was going down your list, doing all the things, I thought it'd be a good idea to "Save page as", too, so I could have a copy of exactly what my blog page looked like: where the elements were, what text I had where, etc. Thought you may like that tip.
Thanks ever so much again.
